BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and potentially fatal opportunistic infection of the central nervous system that is caused by a ubiquitous polyomavirus, the JC virus (JCV). While JCV is present at very high rates in the general population, PML remains a rare disorder, albeit an important one because of the poor survival and the severe neurological sequelae, and the recently demonstrated association with a variety of useful therapies, for example, natalizumab in multiple sclerosis (MS). A number of risk factors for PML have been described but these are better viewed as necessary but not sufficient. While these risk factors are highly relevant, they do not, on their own, predict who will develop PML, since the vast majority of individuals with these risk factors will not develop the disorder. Other factors need to be considered and there is growing evidence for the role of host genetic factors in susceptibility to PML.

The ability to more accurately predict who is at risk of developing PML will be of enormous benefit in the context of drug treatment with compounds that are highly effective in their disease context (natalizumab in MS, for example) but carry a small risk of a devastating disorder. There is a need to develop a companion diagnostic testing, in order to effectively exclude those that were at risk of PML, in the process reassuring those with negative tests about their dramatically reduced risk of developing PML.

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and usually fatal viral disease characterized by progressive damage or inflammation of the white matter of the brain at multiple locations. The cause of PML can be a type of polyomavirus called the John Cunningham (JC) virus (or JCV), which can be harmless except in cases of weakened immune systems. While JCV is present at very high rates in the general population, PML remains a rare disorder, albeit an important one because of the clinical sequelae.

PML can occur in patients with severe immune deficiency, which allows reactivation of the JC virus, such as: 1) most commonly among patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) that results from infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), 2) patients on immunosuppressive medications like corticosteroids for organ transplant (e.g., renal, liver, lung, and heart) and in people with cancer (e.g., Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, or lymphoma, and myeloproliferative neoplasms such as myelofibrosis), and 3) individuals with autoimmune diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and systemic lupus erythematosus) with therapies that depress the immune response. Several immunosuppressive drugs have been reported in the context of drug-induced PML or drug-associated PML. For example, see: Melis et al. CNS Drugs. 2015; 29(10):879-91); Maas et al. J Neurol. 2016 October; 263(10):2004-21; Colin et al. Fundam Clin Pharmacol. 2016 Oct. 13. Immunosuppressive medications can include, but are not limited to, interferon beta-1a, interferon beta-1b, glatiramer acetate, peginterferon beta-1a, teriflunomide, mitoxantrone, ocrelizumab, abatacept, adalimumab, alefacept, alemtuzumab, anakinra, bortezomib (e.g., Velcade), eculizumab (e.g., Soliris), leflunomide, and various other transplant drugs such as antithymocyte Ig, asparaginase, azathioprine, basiliximab, belatacept, belimumab, bendamustine, bevacizumab, bleomycin, brentuximab vedotin, busulfan, capecitabine, carboplatin, carmustine, certolizumab, cetuximab, chlorambucil, cladribine, corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, cytotoxic chemotherapy, daclizumab, dimethyl fumarate, doxorubicin, efalizumab, etanercept, etoposide, fingolimod, fludarabine, gemcitabine, hydrocortisone, ibritumomab tiuxetan, ibrutinib, idarubicin, idelalisib, ifosfamide, imatinib, infliximab, lenalidomide, levamisole, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, mizoribine, muromonab-CD3, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, natalizumab, obinutuzumab, ofatumumab, oxaliplatin, prednisone/prednisolone, rituximab, ruxolitinib, sirolimus (also known as rapamycin), tacrolimus, tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil, thiotepa, tocilizumab, tofacitinib, ustekinumab, vedolizumab, vinblastine and vincristine. Exemplary small molecule immunosuppressive medications include dimethyl fumarate, fingolimod, and ruxolitinib. In some embodiments, an immunosuppressive therapy is classified as a Class 1 (high risk) therapeutic agent, such as efalizumab and natalizumab as reported in Calabrese L. H. et al., Nat Rev Rheumatol. (2015).

PML can be diagnosed in a patient with a progressive course of the disease, finding JC virus DNA in spinal fluid together with consistent white matter lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); alternatively, a brain biopsy can be diagnostic when the typical histopathology of demyelination, bizarre astrocytes, and enlarged oligodendroglial nuclei are present, coupled with techniques showing the presence of JC virus. Characteristic evidence of PML on brain CT scan images can be multifocal, non-contrast enhancing hypodense lesions without mass effect, but MRI can be more sensitive than CT. The most common area of involvement can be the cortical white matter of frontal and parieto-occipital lobes, but lesions may occur anywhere in the brain, like the basal ganglia, external capsule, and posterior cranial fossa structures like the brainstem and cerebellum.

In general, treatment of PML aims at reversing the immune deficiency to slow or stop the disease progress. Patients on an immunosuppression regime can stop taking the immunosuppressive medication or plasma exchange (PLEX) can be used to accelerate the removal of the immunosuppressive medication that put the person at risk for PML. HIV-infected patients can start highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Occurrence of PML can also occur in the context of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), wherein onset of PML can occur or PML symptoms may get worse after cessation of immunosuppression (e.g., as reviewed by Pavlovic et al. Ther Adv Neurol Disord. 2015 November; 8(6):255-73 and Bowen et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2016 Oct. 27; 12(11):662-674). For example, in MS patients that develop PML during treatment with natalizumab, IRIS often results when treatment is stopped and PLEX is used to remove natalizumab from the patient's circulation. Treatment of IRIS in PML patients can include administration of corticosteroids. Other potential treatments of PML can include cidofovir, cytarabine, anti-malaria drug mefloquine, interleukin-2, and 1-O-hexadecyloxypropyl-cidofovir (CMX001, aka brincidofovir). As reviewed by Pavlovic (Ther Adv Neurol Disord. 2015 November; 8(6):255-73), potential treatments for PML include antiviral agents (e.g., chlorpromazine, citalopram, mirtazapine, risperidone, ziprasidone, retro-2cycl, brefeldin A, cidofovir, brincidofovir, cytarabine, ganciclovir, leflunomide, topotecan, mefloquine, 3-aminobenzamide, imatinib, and Ag122), immune response modulators (e.g., IFN-alpha, IL-2, IL-7, maraviroc, and glucocorticoids), and immunization (e.g., recombinant human anti-JCV VP-1 monoclonal antibodies, JCV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte therapy, IL-7 plus JCV VP1 vaccine, and JCV oral vaccine).

The term “diagnostic yield” as used herein refers to the percentage of cases that would identify the presence of one or more genetic variations (e.g., CNV, SNV) in a PML cohort using an assay. For example, if 40 cases would identify the presence of one or more genetic variations (e.g., CNV, SNV) in a cohort of 100 PML patients, the diagnostic yield of the assay is 40%. In some cases, the patients in the PML cohort are clinically diagnosed with PML. In some cases, a patient is clinically diagnosed with PML when JC virus DNA is present in spinal fluid and consistent white matter lesions is present on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In some cases, a patient is clinically diagnosed with PML when typical histopathology of demyelination, bizarre astrocytes, and enlarged oligodendroglial nuclei are present in a brain biopsy, coupled with the presence of JC virus. In some cases, the PML cohort has at least 5 PML cases, for example, at least 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, or 1000 PML cases. In some cases, the PML cohort is a cohort listed herein. For example, the PML cohort is the PML patient cohort listed in Table 7. In some cases, the assay is JCV-antibody assay. In some cases, the assay is not JCV-antibody assay. In some cases, the assay is a genetic assay. In some cases, the genetic assay tests the genetic predisposition for PML.

The genetic assay can comprise any method disclosed herein. In some cases, the genetic assay has a diagnostic yield of at least about 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99%. In some cases, the genetic assay has a diagnostic yield of about 1%-5%, 1%-10%, 1%-20%, 5%-10%, 5%-20%, 10%-20%, 10%-30%, 20%-30%, 20%-40%, 30%-40%, 30%-50%, 40%-50%, 40%-60%, 50%-60%, 50%-70%, 60%-70%, 60%-80%, 70%-80%, 70%-90%, 80%-90%, 80%-95%, 90%-95%, 90%-99%, 90%-100%, 95%-99%, or 99%-100%.

Genetic Variations Associated with PML

Described herein, are methods that can be used to detect genetic variations. Detecting specific genetic variations, for example polymorphic markers and/or haplotypes, copy number, absence or presence of an allele, or genotype associated with a condition (e.g., disease or disorder) as described herein, can be accomplished by methods known in the art for analyzing nucleic acids and/or detecting sequences at polymorphic or genetically variable sites, for example, amplification techniques, hybridization techniques, sequencing, microarrays/arrays, or any combination thereof. Thus, by use of these methods disclosed herein or other methods available to the person skilled in the art, one or more alleles at polymorphic markers, including microsatellites, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), single nucleotide variations (SNVs), insertions/deletions (indels), copy number variations (CNVs), or other types of genetic variations, can be identified in a sample obtained from a subject.

Genomic sequences within populations exhibit variability between individuals at many locations in the genome. For example, the human genome exhibits sequence variations that occur on average every 500 base pairs. Such genetic variations in polynucleic acid sequences are commonly referred to as polymorphisms or polymorphic sites. As used herein, a polymorphism, e.g., genetic variation, includes a variation in the sequence of the genome amongst a population, such as allelic variations and other variations that arise or are observed. Thus, a polymorphism refers to the occurrence of two or more genetically determined alternative sequences or alleles in a population. These differences can occur in coding (e.g., exonic) and non-coding (e.g., intronic or intergenic) portions of the genome, and can be manifested or detected as differences in polynucleic acid sequences, gene expression, including, for example transcription, processing, translation, transport, protein processing, trafficking, DNA synthesis; expressed proteins, other gene products or products of biochemical pathways or in post-translational modifications and any other differences manifested amongst members of a population. Polymorphisms that arise as the result of a single base change, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or single nucleotide variations (SNVs), can include an insertion, deletion or change in one nucleotide. A polymorphic marker or site is the locus at which divergence occurs. Such sites can be as small as one base pair (an SNP or SNV). Polymorphic markers include, but are not limited to, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs), hypervariable regions, minisatellites, dinucleotide repeats, trinucleotide repeats, tetranucleotide repeats and other repeating patterns, simple sequence repeats and insertional elements, such as Alu. Polymorphic forms also are manifested as different mendelian alleles for a gene. Polymorphisms can be observed by differences in proteins, protein modifications, RNA expression modification, DNA and RNA methylation, regulatory factors that alter gene expression and DNA replication, and any other manifestation of alterations in genomic polynucleic acid or organelle polynucleic acids. Those skilled in the art can appreciate that polymorphisms are sometimes considered to be a subclass of variations, defined on the basis of a particular frequency cutoff in a population. For example, in some embodiments, polymorphisms are considered to genetic variants/variations that occur at >1%, or >5%, frequency in the population.

In some embodiments, these genetic variations can be found to be associated with one or more disorders and/or diseases using the methods disclosed herein. In some embodiments, these genetic variations can be found to be associated with absence of one or more disorders and/or diseases (i.e. the one or more variants are protective against development of the disorder and/or diseases) using the methods disclosed herein.

In some embodiments, these genetic variations comprise point mutations, polymorphisms, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), single nucleotide variations (SNVs), translocations, insertions, deletions, amplifications, inversions, interstitial deletions, copy number variations (CNVs), loss of heterozygosity, or any combination thereof. As genetic variation includes any deletion, insertion or base substitution of the genomic DNA of one or more individuals in a first portion of a total population which thereby results in a difference at the site of the deletion, insertion or base substitution relative to one or more individuals in a second portion of the total population. Thus, the term “genetic variation” encompasses “wild type” or the most frequently occurring variation, and also includes “mutant,” or the less frequently occurring variation. In some embodiments, a wild type allele may be referred to as an ancestral allele.

As used herein, a target molecule that is “associated with” or “correlates with” a particular genetic variation is a molecule that can be functionally distinguished in its structure, activity, concentration, compartmentalization, degradation, secretion, and the like, as a result of such genetic variation. In some embodiments polymorphisms (e.g., polymorphic markers, genetic variations, or genetic variants) can comprise any nucleotide position at which two or more sequences are possible in a subject population. In some embodiments, each version of a nucleotide sequence, with respect to the polymorphism/variation, can represent a specific allele of the polymorphism/variation. In some embodiments, genomic DNA from a subject can contain two alleles for any given polymorphic marker, representative of each copy of the marker on each chromosome. In some embodiments, an allele can be a nucleotide sequence of a given location on a chromosome. Polymorphisms/variations can comprise any number of specific alleles. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a polymorphism/variation can be characterized by the presence of two or more alleles in a population. In some embodiments, the polymorphism/variation can be characterized by the presence of three or more alleles. In some embodiments, the polymorphism/variation can be characterized by four or more alleles, five or more alleles, six or more alleles, seven or more alleles, nine or more alleles, or ten or more alleles. In some embodiments an allele can be associated with one or more diseases or disorders, for example, a PML risk allele can be an allele that is associated with increased or decreased risk of developing PML. In some embodiments, genetic variations and alleles can be used to associate an inherited phenotype with a responsible genotype. In some embodiments, a PML risk allele can be a variant allele that is statistically associated with a screening of PML. In some embodiments, genetic variations can be of any measurable frequency in the population, for example, a frequency higher than 10%, a frequency from 5-10%, a frequency from 1-5%, a frequency from 0.1-1%, or a frequency below 0.1%. As used herein, variant alleles can be alleles that differ from a reference allele. As used herein, a variant can be a segment of DNA that differs from the reference DNA, such as a genetic variation. In some embodiments, genetic variations can be used to track the inheritance of a gene that has not yet been identified, but whose approximate location is known.

As used herein, a “haplotype” can be information regarding the presence or absence of one or more genetic markers in a given chromosomal region in a subject. In some embodiments, a haplotype can be a segment of DNA characterized by one or more alleles arranged along the segment, for example, a haplotype can comprise one member of the pair of alleles for each genetic variation or locus. In some embodiments, the haplotype can comprise two or more alleles, three or more alleles, four or more alleles, five or more alleles, or any combination thereof, wherein, each allele can comprise one or more genetic variations along the segment.

In some embodiments, a genetic variation can be a functional aberration that can alter gene function, gene expression, polypeptide expression, polypeptide function, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, a genetic variation can be a loss-of-function mutation, gain-of-function mutation, dominant negative mutation, or reversion. In some embodiments, a genetic variation can be part of a gene's coding region or regulatory region. Regulatory regions can control gene expression and thus polypeptide expression. In some embodiments, a regulatory region can be a segment of DNA wherein regulatory polypeptides, for example, transcription or splicing factors, can bind. In some embodiments a regulatory region can be positioned near the gene being regulated, for example, positions upstream or downstream of the gene being regulated. In some embodiments, a regulatory region (e g, enhancer element) can be several thousands of base pairs upstream or downstream of a gene.

In some embodiments, variants can include changes that affect a polypeptide, such as a change in expression level, sequence, function, localization, binding partners, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, a genetic variation can be a frameshift mutation, nonsense mutation, missense mutation, neutral mutation, or silent mutation. For example, sequence differences, when compared to a reference nucleotide sequence, can include the insertion or deletion of a single nucleotide, or of more than one nucleotide, resulting in a frame shift; the change of at least one nucleotide, resulting in a change in the encoded amino acid; the change of at least one nucleotide, resulting in the generation of a premature stop codon; the deletion of several nucleotides, resulting in a deletion of one or more amino acids encoded by the nucleotides; the insertion of one or several nucleotides, such as by unequal recombination or gene conversion, resulting in an interruption of the coding sequence of a reading frame; duplication of all or a part of a sequence; transposition; or a rearrangement of a nucleotide sequence. Such sequence changes can alter the polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid, for example, if the change in the nucleic acid sequence causes a frame shift, the frame shift can result in a change in the encoded amino acids, and/or can result in the generation of a premature stop codon, causing generation of a truncated polypeptide. In some embodiments, a genetic variation associated with PML can be a synonymous change in one or more nucleotides, for example, a change that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence. Such a polymorphism can, for example, alter splice sites, affect the stability or transport of mRNA, or otherwise affect the transcription or translation of an encoded polypeptide. In some embodiments, a synonymous mutation can result in the polypeptide product having an altered structure due to rare codon usage that impacts polypeptide folding during translation, which in some cases may alter its function and/or drug binding properties if it is a drug target. In some embodiments, the changes that can alter DNA increase the possibility that structural changes, such as amplifications or deletions, occur at the somatic level. A polypeptide encoded by the reference nucleotide sequence can be a reference polypeptide with a particular reference amino acid sequence, and polypeptides encoded by variant nucleotide sequences can be variant polypeptides with variant amino acid sequences.

The most common sequence variants comprise base variations at a single base position in the genome, and such sequence variants, or polymorphisms, are commonly called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or single nucleotide variants (SNVs). In some embodiments, a SNP represents a genetic variant present at greater than or equal to 1% occurrence in a population and in some embodiments a SNP or an SNV can represent a genetic variant present at any frequency level in a population. A SNP can be a nucleotide sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide at a location in the genome differs between members of a species or between paired chromosomes in a subject. SNPs can include variants of a single nucleotide, for example, at a given nucleotide position, some subjects can have a ‘G’, while others can have a ‘C’. SNPs can occur in a single mutational event, and therefore there can be two possible alleles possible at each SNP site; the original allele and the mutated allele. SNPs that are found to have two different bases in a single nucleotide position are referred to as biallelic SNPs, those with three are referred to as triallelic, and those with all four bases represented in the population are quadallelic. In some embodiments, SNPs can be considered neutral. In some embodiments SNPs can affect susceptibility to a condition (e.g., PML). SNP polymorphisms can have two alleles, for example, a subject can be homozygous for one allele of the polymorphism wherein both chromosomal copies of the individual have the same nucleotide at the SNP location, or a subject can be heterozygous wherein the two sister chromosomes of the subject contain different nucleotides. The SNP nomenclature as reported herein is the official Reference SNP (rs) ID identification tag as assigned to each unique SNP by the National Center for Biotechnological Information (NCBI).

Another genetic variation of the disclosure can be copy number variations (CNVs). As used herein, “CNVs” include alterations of the DNA of a genome that results in an abnormal number of copies of one or more sections of DNA. In some embodiments, a CNV comprises a CNV-subregion. As used herein, a “CNV-subregion” includes a continuous nucleotide sequence within a CNV. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of a CNV-subregion can be shorter than the nucleotide sequence of the CNV, and in another embodiment the CNV-subregion can be equivalent to the CNV (e.g., such as for some recurrent CNVs). CNVs can be inherited or caused by de novo mutation and can be responsible for a substantial amount of human phenotypic variability, behavioral traits, and disease susceptibility. In some embodiments, CNVs of the current disclosure can be associated with susceptibility to one or more conditions, for example, PML. In some embodiments, CNVs can include a single gene or include a contiguous set of genes. In some embodiments, CNVs can be caused by structural rearrangements of the genome, for example, unbalanced translocations or inversions, insertions, deletions, amplifications, and interstitial deletions. In some embodiments, these structural rearrangements occur on one or more chromosomes. Low copy repeats (LCRs), which are region-specific repeat sequences (also known as segmental duplications), can be susceptible to these structural rearrangements, resulting in CNVs. Factors such as size, orientation, percentage similarity and the distance between the copies can influence the susceptibility of LCRs to genomic rearrangement. In addition, rearrangements may be mediated by the presence of high copy number repeats, such as long interspersed elements (LINES) and short interspersed elements (SINEs), often via non-homologous recombination. For example, chromosomal rearrangements can arise from non-allelic homologous recombination during meiosis or via a replication-based mechanism such as fork stalling and template switching (FoSTeS) (Zhang F. et al., Nat. Genet. (2009)) or microhomology-mediated break-induced repair (MMBIR) (Hastings P. J. et al., PLoS Genetics (2009)). In some embodiments, CNVs are referred to as structural variants, which are a broader class of variant that also includes copy number neutral alterations such as balanced inversions and balanced translocations.

CNVs can account for genetic variation affecting a substantial proportion of the human genome, for example, known CNVs can cover over 15% of the human genome sequence (Estivill and Armengol, PLoS Genetics (2007)). CNVs can affect gene expression, phenotypic variation and adaptation by disrupting or impairing gene dosage, and can cause disease, for example, microdeletion and microduplication disorders, and can confer susceptibility to diseases and disorders. Updated information about the location, type, and size of known CNVs can be found in one or more databases, for example, the Database of Genomic Variants (See, MacDonald J R et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 42, D986-92 (2014), which currently contains data for over 500,000 CNVs (as of May, 2016).

Other types of sequence variants can be found in the human genome and can be associated with a disease or disorder, including but not limited to, microsatellites. Microsatellite markers are stable, polymorphic, easily analyzed, and can occur regularly throughout the genome, making them especially suitable for genetic analysis. A polymorphic microsatellite can comprise multiple small repeats of bases, for example, CA repeats, at a particular site wherein the number of repeat lengths varies in a population. In some embodiments, microsatellites, for example, variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs), can be short segments of DNA that have one or more repeated sequences, for example, about 2 to 5 nucleotides long, that can occur in non-coding DNA. In some embodiments, changes in microsatellites can occur during genetic recombination of sexual reproduction, increasing or decreasing the number of repeats found at an allele, or changing allele length.

The genetic variations disclosed herein can be associated with a risk of developing PML in a subject. In some cases, the subject can have a decreased risk due to the absence of one or more genetic variations that disrupt or modulate a corresponding gene according to Tables 1 to 26. For example, the subject can have a decreased risk due to the absence of one or more genetic variations that disrupt or modulate a corresponding gene according to Tables 3 and 6. In some cases, the subject can have an increased risk due to the presence of one or more genetic variations that disrupt or modulate a corresponding gene according to Tables 1 to 26. For example, the subject can have an increased risk due to the presence of one or more genetic variations that disrupt or modulate a corresponding gene according to Tables 3 and 6.

As used herein, a “cohort” can represent an ethnic group, a patient group, a particular age group, a group not associated with a particular condition (e.g., disease or disorder), a group associated with a particular condition (e.g., disease or disorder), a group of asymptomatic subjects, a group of symptomatic subjects, or a group or subgroup of subjects associated with a particular response to a treatment regimen or enrolled in a clinical trial. In some embodiments, a patient can be a subject afflicted with a condition (e.g., disease or disorder). In some embodiments, a patient can be a subject not afflicted with a condition (e.g., disease or disorder) and is considered apparently healthy, or a normal or control subject. In some embodiments, a subject can be a test subject, a patient or a candidate for a therapeutic, wherein genomic DNA from the subject, patient, or candidate is obtained for analysis by one or more methods of the present disclosure herein, so as to obtain genetic variation information of the subject, patient or candidate.

In some embodiments, the polynucleic acid sample can be obtained prenatally from a fetus or embryo or from the mother, for example, from fetal or embryonic cells in the maternal circulation. In some embodiments, the polynucleic acid sample can be obtained with the assistance of a health care provider, for example, to draw blood. In some embodiments, the polynucleic acid sample can be obtained without the assistance of a health care provider, for example, where the polynucleic acid sample is obtained non-invasively, such as a saliva sample, or a sample comprising buccal cells that is obtained using a buccal swab or brush, or a mouthwash sample.

The present disclosure also provides methods for assessing genetic variations in subjects who are members of a target population. Such a target population is in some embodiments a population or group of subjects at risk of developing the condition (e.g., disease or disorder), based on, for example, other genetic factors, biomarkers, biophysical parameters, diagnostic testing such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), family history of the condition, previous screening or medical history, or any combination thereof.

The genetic variations of the present disclosure found to be associated with a condition (e.g., disease or disorder) can show similar association in other human populations. Particular embodiments comprising subject human populations are thus also contemplated and within the scope of the disclosure. Such embodiments relate to human subjects that are from one or more human populations including, but not limited to, Caucasian, Ashkenazi Jewish, Sephardi Jewish, European, American, Eurasian, Asian, Central/South Asian, East Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Hispanic, Caribbean, and Oceanic populations. European populations include, but are not limited to, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Danish, Icelandic, Irish, Kelt, English, Scottish, Dutch, Belgian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Bulgarian, Slavic, Serbian, Bosnian, Czech, Greek and Turkish populations.

W. et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet., 74:1001 (2004)).

Certain genetic variations can have different population frequencies in different populations, or are polymorphic in one population but not in another. The methods available and as thought herein can be applied to practice the present disclosure in any given human population. This can include assessment of genetic variations of the present disclosure, so as to identify those markers that give strongest association within the specific population. Thus, the at-risk variants of the present disclosure can reside on different haplotype background and in different frequencies in various human populations.

In some embodiments, a polynucleic acid sample can be processed for RNA or DNA isolation, for example, RNA or DNA in a cell or tissue sample can be separated from other components of the polynucleic acid sample. Cells can be harvested from a polynucleic acid sample using standard techniques, for example, by centrifuging a cell sample and resuspending the pelleted cells, for example, in a buffered solution, for example, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In some embodiments, after centrifuging the cell suspension to obtain a cell pellet, the cells can be lysed to extract DNA. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sample can be concentrated and/or purified to isolate DNA. All nucleic acid samples obtained from a subject, including those subjected to any sort of further processing, are considered to be obtained from the subject. In some embodiments, standard techniques and kits known in the art can be used to extract RNA or DNA from a nucleic acid sample, including, for example, phenol extraction, a QIAamp® Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Chatsworth, Calif.), a Wizard® Genomic DNA purification kit (Promega), or a Qiagen Autopure method using Puregene chemistry, which can enable purification of highly stable DNA well-suited for archiving.

In some embodiments, determining the identity of an allele or determining copy number can, but need not, include obtaining a polynucleic acid sample comprising RNA and/or DNA from a subject, and/or assessing the identity, copy number, presence or absence of one or more genetic variations and their chromosomal locations within the genomic DNA (i.e. subject's genome) derived from the polynucleic acid sample.

The individual or organization that performs the determination need not actually carry out the physical analysis of a nucleic acid sample from a subject. In some embodiments, the methods can include using information obtained by analysis of the polynucleic acid sample by a third party.

A “hybrid” as used herein, includes a double strand formed between any one of the abovementioned nucleic acid, within the same type, or across different types, including DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, RNA-RNA or the like.

“Isolated” nucleic acids, as used herein, are separated from nucleic acids that normally flank the gene or nucleotide sequence (as in genomic sequences) and/or has been completely or partially purified from other transcribed sequences (e.g., as in an RNA library). For example, isolated nucleic acids of the disclosure can be substantially isolated with respect to the complex cellular milieu in which it naturally occurs, or culture medium when produced by recombinant techniques, or chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. In some instances, the isolated material can form part of a composition, for example, a crude extract containing other substances, buffer system or reagent mix. In some embodiments, the material can be purified to essential homogeneity using methods known in the art, for example, by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) or column chromatography (e.g., HPLC). With regard to genomic DNA (gDNA), the term “isolated” also can refer to nucleic acids that are separated from the chromosome with which the genomic DNA is naturally associated. For example, the isolated nucleic acid molecule can contain less than about 250 kb, 200 kb, 150 kb, 100 kb, 75 kb, 50 kb, 25 kb, 10 kb, 5 kb, 4 kb, 3 kb, 2 kb, 1 kb, 0.5 kb or 0.1 kb of the nucleotides that flank the nucleic acid molecule in the gDNA of the cell from which the nucleic acid molecule is derived.

Such isolated nucleotide sequences can be useful, for example, in the manufacture of the encoded polypeptide, as probes for isolating homologous sequences (e.g., from other mammalian species), for gene mapping (e.g., by in situ hybridization with chromosomes), or for detecting expression of the gene, in tissue (e.g., human tissue), such as by Northern blot analysis or other hybridization techniques disclosed herein. The disclosure also pertains to nucleic acid sequences that hybridize under high stringency hybridization conditions, such as for selective hybridization, to a nucleotide sequence described herein Such nucleic acid sequences can be detected and/or isolated by allele- or sequence-specific hybridization (e.g., under high stringency conditions). Stringency conditions and methods for nucleic acid hybridizations are well known to the skilled person (see, e.g., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Ausubel, F. et al., John Wiley & Sons, (1998), and Kraus, M. and Aaronson, S., Methods Enzymol., 200:546-556 (1991), the entire teachings of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Calculations of “identity” or “percent identity” between two or more nucleotide or amino acid sequences can be determined by aligning the sequences for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in the sequence of a first sequence). The nucleotides at corresponding positions are then compared, and the percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e. % identity=# of identical positions/total # of positions×100). For example, a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences.

In some embodiments, the length of a sequence aligned for comparison purposes is at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95%, of the length of the reference sequence. The actual comparison of the two sequences can be accomplished by well-known methods, for example, using a mathematical algorithm. A non-limiting example of such a mathematical algorithm is described in Karlin, S. and Altschul, S., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90-5873-5877 (1993). Such an algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version 2.0), as described in Altschul, S. et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 25:3389-3402 (1997). When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, any relevant parameters of the respective programs (e.g., NBLAST) can be used. For example, parameters for sequence comparison can be set at score=100, word length=12, or can be varied (e.g., W=5 or W=20). Other examples include the algorithm of Myers and Miller, CABIOS (1989), ADVANCE, ADAM, BLAT, and FASTA. In some embodiments, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences can be accomplished using, for example, the GAP program in the GCG software package (Accelrys, Cambridge, UK).

“Probes” or “primers” can be oligonucleotides that hybridize in a base-specific manner to a complementary strand of a nucleic acid molecule. Probes can include primers, which can be a single-stranded oligonucleotide probe that can act as a point of initiation of template-directed DNA synthesis using methods including but not limited to, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ligase chain reaction (LCR) for amplification of a target sequence. Oligonucleotides, as described herein, can include segments or fragments of nucleic acid sequences, or their complements. In some embodiments, DNA segments can be between 5 and 10,000 contiguous bases, and can range from 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 25 nucleotides to 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 or 10,000 nucleotides. In addition to DNA and RNA, probes and primers can include polypeptide nucleic acids (PNA), as described in Nielsen, P. et al., Science 254: 1497-1500 (1991). A probe or primer can comprise a region of nucleotide sequence that hybridizes to at least about 15, typically about 20-25, and in certain embodiments about 40, 50, 60 or 75, consecutive nucleotides of a nucleic acid molecule.

The present disclosure also provides isolated nucleic acids, for example, probes or primers, that contain a fragment or portion that can selectively hybridize to a nucleic acid that comprises, or consists of, a nucleotide sequence, wherein the nucleotide sequence can comprise at least one polymorphism or polymorphic allele contained in the genetic variations described herein or the wild-type nucleotide that is located at the same position, or the complements thereof. In some embodiments, the probe or primer can be at least 70% identical, at least 80% identical, at least 85% identical, at least 90% identical, or at least 95% identical, to the contiguous nucleotide sequence or to the complement of the contiguous nucleotide sequence.

In some embodiments, a nucleic acid probe can be an oligonucleotide capable of hybridizing with a complementary region of a gene associated with a condition (e.g., PML) containing a genetic variation described herein. The nucleic acid fragments of the disclosure can be used as probes or primers in assays such as those described herein.

The nucleic acids of the disclosure, such as those described above, can be identified and isolated using standard molecular biology techniques well known to the skilled person. In some embodiments, DNA can be amplified and/or can be labeled (e.g., radiolabeled, fluorescently labeled) and used as a probe for screening, for example, a cDNA library derived from an organism. cDNA can be derived from mRNA and can be contained in a suitable vector. For example, corresponding clones can be isolated, DNA obtained following in vivo excision, and the cloned insert can be sequenced in either or both orientations by art-recognized methods to identify the correct reading frame encoding a polypeptide of the appropriate molecular weight. Using these or similar methods, the polypeptide and the DNA encoding the polypeptide can be isolated, sequenced and further characterized.

In some embodiments, nucleic acid can comprise one or more polymorphisms, variations, or mutations, for example, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), single nucleotide variations (SNVs), copy number variations (CNVs), for example, insertions, deletions, inversions, and translocations.

In some embodiments nucleic acids can comprise nucleic acids in various structures, for example, A DNA, B DNA, Z-form DNA, siRNA, tRNA, and ribozymes. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid may be naturally or non-naturally polymorphic, for example, having one or more sequence differences, for example, additions, deletions and/or substitutions, as compared to a reference sequence. In some embodiments, a reference sequence can be based on publicly available information, for example, the U.C. Santa Cruz Human Genome Browser Gateway (genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway) or the NCBI website (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). In some embodiments, a reference sequence can be determined by a practitioner of the present disclosure using methods well known in the art, for example, by sequencing a reference nucleic acid.

In some embodiment a probe can hybridize to an allele, SNP, SNV, or CNV as described herein. In some embodiments, the probe can bind to another marker sequence associated with PML as described herein.

One of skill in the art would know how to design a probe so that sequence specific hybridization can occur only if a particular allele is present in a genomic sequence from a test nucleic acid sample. The disclosure can also be reduced to practice using any convenient genotyping method, including commercially available technologies and methods for genotyping particular genetic variations

Control probes can also be used, for example, a probe that binds a less variable sequence, for example, a repetitive DNA associated with a centromere of a chromosome, can be used as a control. In some embodiments, probes can be obtained from commercial sources. In some embodiments, probes can be synthesized, for example, chemically or in vitro, or made from chromosomal or genomic DNA through standard techniques. In some embodiments sources of DNA that can be used include genomic DNA, cloned DNA sequences, somatic cell hybrids that contain one, or a part of one, human chromosome along with the normal chromosome complement of the host, and chromosomes purified by flow cytometry or microdissection. The region of interest can be isolated through cloning, or by site-specific amplification using PCR.

As a non-limiting example, a probe indirectly labeled with biotin can be detected by avidin conjugated to a detectable marker. For example, avidin can be conjugated to an enzymatic marker such as alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase. In some embodiments, enzymatic markers can be detected using colorimetric reactions using a substrate and/or a catalyst for the enzyme. In some embodiments, catalysts for alkaline phosphatase can be used, for example, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolylphosphate and nitro blue tetrazolium. In some embodiments, a catalyst can be used for horseradish peroxidase, for example, diaminobenzoate.

Table 27 contains an exemplary pathways and biology for PML risk genes based on the 96-gene panel listed in Table 19. The genes disclosed herein, such as the genes in the 96-gene panel, can be grouped based on the pathway or biological processes they are involoved in.

Methods of Screening

As used herein, screening a subject comprises diagnosing or determining, theranosing, or determining the susceptibility to developing (prognosing) a condition, for example, PML. In particular embodiments, the disclosure is a method of determining a presence of, or a susceptibility to, PML, by detecting at least one genetic variation in a sample from a subject as described herein. In some embodiments, detection of particular alleles, markers, variations, or haplotypes is indicative of a presence or susceptibility to a condition (e.g., PML).

While means for screening PML using a JCV antibody test exist, PML risk is not adequately assessed by the JCV antibody test alone. Thus there exists a need for an improved screening test for assessing the risk of developing PML. Described herein are methods of screening an individual for a risk of developing PML, including but not limited to, determining the identity and location of genetic variations, such as variations in nucleotide sequence and copy number, and the presence or absence of alleles or genotypes in one or more samples from one or more subjects using any of the methods described herein. In some embodiments, determining an association to having or developing PML can be performed by detecting particular variations that appear more frequently in test subjects compared to reference subjects and analyzing the molecular and physiological pathways these variations can affect.

Within any given population, there can be an absolute susceptibility of developing a disease or trait, defined as the chance of a person developing the specific disease or trait over a specified time-period. Susceptibility (e.g., being at-risk) is typically measured by looking at very large numbers of people, rather than at a particular individual. As described herein, certain copy number variations (genetic variations) and/or single nucleotide variations are found to be useful for susceptibility assessment of PML. Susceptibility assessment can involve detecting particular genetic variations in the genome of individuals undergoing assessment. Particular genetic variations are found more frequently in individuals with PML, than in individuals without PML. Therefore, these genetic variations have predictive value for detecting PML, or a susceptibility to PML, in an individual. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the genetic variations described herein to be associated with susceptibility of PML represent functional variants predisposing to the disease. In some embodiments, a genetic variation can confer a susceptibility of the condition, for example carriers of the genetic variation are at a different risk of the condition than non-carriers. In some embodiments, the presence of a genetic variation is indicative of increased susceptibility to PML.

In some embodiments, screening can be performed using any of the methods disclosed, alone or in combination. In some embodiments, screening can be performed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). In some embodiments screening can be performed using Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) to detect CNVs. In another preferred embodiment screening can be performed using exome sequencing to detect SNVs, indels, and in some cases CNVs using appropriate analysis algorithms. In another preferred embodiment screening is performed using high-throughput (also known as next generation) whole genome sequencing methods and appropriate algorithms to detect all or nearly all genetic variations present in a genomic DNA sample. In some embodiments, the genetic variation information as it relates to the current disclosure can be used in conjunction with any of the above mentioned symptomatic screening tests to screen a subject for PML, for example, using a combination of aCGH and/or sequencing with a JCV screening test, such as the JCV antibody test, CD62L test, or CSF IgM oligoclonal band test. In some embodiments, the L-selectin (CD62L) expressed by CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells in, for example, cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), can be a biomarker for JCV screening. A CD62L expression can be correlated with the risk of PML.

In some embodiments, information from any of the above screening methods (e.g., specific symptoms, scoring matrix, or genetic variation data) can be used to define a subject as a test subject or reference subject. In some embodiments, information from any of the above screening methods can be used to associate a subject with a test or reference population, for example, a subject in a population.

In one embodiment, an association with PML can be determined by the statistical likelihood of the presence of a genetic variation in a subject with PML, for example, an unrelated individual or a first or second-degree relation of the subject. In some embodiments, an association with PML can be decided by determining the statistical likelihood of the absence of a genetic variation in an unaffected reference subject, for example, an unrelated individual or a first or second-degree relation of the subject. The methods described herein can include obtaining and analyzing a nucleic acid sample from one or more suitable reference subjects.

In the present context, the term screening comprises diagnosis, prognosis, and theranosis. Screening can refer to any available screening method, including those mentioned herein. As used herein, susceptibility can be proneness of a subject towards the development of PML, or towards being less able to resist PML than one or more control subjects. In some embodiments, susceptibility can encompass increased susceptibility. For example, particular nucleic acid variations of the disclosure as described herein can be characteristic of increased susceptibility to PML. In some embodiments, particular nucleic acid variations can confer decreased susceptibility, for example particular nucleic variations of the disclosure as described herein can be characteristic of decreased susceptibility to development of PML.

As described herein, a genetic variation predictive of susceptibility to or presence of PML can be one where the particular genetic variation is more frequently present in a group of subjects with the condition (affected), compared to the frequency of its presence in a reference group (control), such that the presence of the genetic variation is indicative of susceptibility to or presence of PML. In some embodiments, the reference group can be a population nucleic acid sample, for example, a random nucleic acid sample from the general population or a mixture of two or more nucleic acid samples from a population. In some embodiments, disease-free controls can be characterized by the absence of one or more specific disease-associated symptoms, for example, individuals who have not experienced symptoms associated with PML. In some embodiments, the disease-free control group is characterized by the absence of one or more disease-specific risk factors, for example, at least one genetic and/or environmental risk factor. In some embodiments, a reference sequence can be referred to for a particular site of genetic variation. In some embodiments, a reference allele can be a wild-type allele and can be chosen as either the first sequenced allele or as the allele from a control individual. In some embodiments, one or more reference subjects can be characteristically matched with one or more affected subjects, for example, with matched aged, gender or ethnicity.

A person skilled in the art can appreciate that for genetic variations with two or more alleles present in the population being studied, and wherein one allele can be found in increased frequency in a group of individuals with PML in the population, compared with controls, the other allele of the marker can be found in decreased frequency in the group of individuals with the trait or disease, compared with controls. In such a case, one allele of the marker, for example, the allele found in increased frequency in individuals with PML, can be the at-risk allele, while the other allele(s) can be a neutral or protective allele.

A genetic variant associated with PML can be used to predict the susceptibility of the disease for a given genotype. For any genetic variation, there can be one or more possible genotypes, for example, homozygote for the at-risk variant (e.g., in autosomal recessive disorders), heterozygote, and non-carrier of the at-risk variant. Autosomal recessive disorders can also result from two distinct genetic variants impacting the same gene such that the individual is a compound heterozygote (e.g., the maternal allele contains a different mutation than the paternal allele). Compound heterozygosity may result from two different SNVs, two different CNVs, an SNV and a CNV, or any combination of two different genetic variants but each present on a different allele for the gene. For X-linked genes, males who possess one copy of a variant-containing gene may be affected, while carrier females, who also possess a wild-type gene, may remain unaffected. In some embodiments, susceptibility associated with variants at multiple loci can be used to estimate overall susceptibility. For multiple genetic variants, there can be k (k=3^n*2^P) possible genotypes; wherein n can be the number of autosomal loci and p can be the number of gonosomal (sex chromosomal) loci. Overall susceptibility assessment calculations can assume that the relative susceptibilities of different genetic variants multiply, for example, the overall susceptibility associated with a particular genotype combination can be the product of the susceptibility values for the genotype at each locus. If the susceptibility presented is the relative susceptibility for a person, or a specific genotype for a person, compared to a reference population, then the combined susceptibility can be the product of the locus specific susceptibility values and can correspond to an overall susceptibility estimate compared with a population. If the susceptibility for a person is based on a comparison to non-carriers of the at-risk allele, then the combined susceptibility can correspond to an estimate that compares the person with a given combination of genotypes at all loci to a group of individuals who do not carry at-risk variants at any of those loci. The group of non-carriers of any at-risk variant can have the lowest estimated susceptibility and can have a combined susceptibility, compared with itself, for example, non-carriers, of 1.0, but can have an overall susceptibility, compared with the population, of less than 1.0.

Overall risk for multiple risk variants can be performed using standard methodology. Genetic variations described herein can form the basis of risk analysis that combines other genetic variations known to increase risk of PML, or other genetic risk variants for PML. In certain embodiments of the disclosure, a plurality of variants (genetic variations, variant alleles, and/or haplotypes) can be used for overall risk assessment. These variants are in some embodiments selected from the genetic variations as disclosed herein. Other embodiments include the use of the variants of the present disclosure in combination with other variants known to be useful for screening a susceptibility to PML. In such embodiments, the genotype status of a plurality of genetic variations, markers and/or haplotypes is determined in an individual, and the status of the individual compared with the population frequency of the associated variants, or the frequency of the variants in clinically healthy subjects, such as age-matched and sex-matched subjects.

Methods such as the use of available algorithms and software can be used to identify, or call, significant genetic variations, including but not limited to, algorithms of DNA Analytics or DNAcopy, iPattern and/or QuantiSNP. In some embodiments, a threshold log ratio value can be used to determine losses and gains. For example, using DNA Analytics, a log₂ ratio cutoff of ≥0.5 and ≤0.5 to classify CNV gains and losses respectively can be used. For example, using DNA Analytics, a log₂ ratio cutoff of ≥0.25 and ≤0.25 to classify CNV gains and losses respectively can be used. As a further example, using DNAcopy, a log₂ ratio cutoff of ≥0.35 and ≤0.35 to classify CNV gains and losses respectively can be used. For example, an Aberration Detection Module 2 (ADM2) algorithm, such as that of DNA Analytics 4.0.85 can be used to identify, or call, significant genetic variations. In some embodiments, two or more algorithms can be used to identify, or call, significant genetic variations. For example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 or more algorithms can be used to identify, or call, significant genetic variations. In another embodiment, the log 2 ratio of one or more individual probes on a microarray can be used to identify significant genetic variations, such as the presence of homozygously deleted regions in a subject's genome. In some embodiments, significant genetic variations can be CNVs.

CNVs detected by two or more algorithms can be defined as stringent and can be utilized for further analyses. In some embodiments, the information and calls from two or more of the methods described herein can be compared to each other to identify significant genetic variations more or less stringently. For example, CNV calls generated by two or more of DNA Analytics, Aberration Detection Module 2 (ADM2) algorithms, and DNAcopy algorithms can be defined as stringent CNVs. In some embodiments significant or stringent genetic variations can be tagged as identified or called if it can be found to have a minimal reciprocal overlap to a genetic variation detected by one or more platforms and/or methods described herein. For example, a minimum of 50% reciprocal overlap can be used to tag the CNVs as identified or called. For example, significant or stringent genetic variations can be tagged as identified or called if it can be found to have a reciprocal overlap of more than about 50%, 55% 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, 99%, or equal to 100%, to a genetic variation detected by one or more platforms and/or methods described herein. For example, significant or stringent genetic variations can be tagged as identified or called if it can be found to have a reciprocal overlap of more than about 50% reciprocal overlap to a genetic variation detected by one or more platforms and/or methods described herein. In another embodiment, genetic variations can be detected from the log 2 ratio values calculated for individual probes present on an aCGH microarray via a statistical comparison of the probe's log 2 ratio value in a cohort of subjects with PML to the probe's log 2 ratio value in a cohort of subjects without PML.

In some embodiments, a threshold log ratio value can be used to determine losses and gains. A log ratio value can be any log ratio value; for example, a log ratio value can be a log 2 ratio or a log 10 ratio. In some embodiments, a CNV segment whose median log 2 ratio is less than or equal to a log 2 ratio threshold value can be classified as a loss. For example, any segment whose median log 2 ratio is less than or equal to −0.1, −0.11, −0.12, −0.13, −0.14, −0.15, −0.16, −0.17, −0.18, −0.19, −0.2, −0.21, −0.22, −0.23, −0.24, −0.25, −0.26, −0.27, −0.28, −0.29, −0.3, −0.31, −0.32, −0.33, −0.34, −0.35, −0.36, −0.37, −0.38, −0.39, −0.4, −0.41, −0.42, −0.43, −0.44, −0.45, −0.46, −0.47, −0.48, −0.49, −0.5, −0.55, −0.6, −0.65, −0.7, −0.75, −0.8, −0.85, −0.9, −0.95, −1, −1.1, −1.2, −1.3, −1.4, −1.5, −1.6, −1.7, −1.8, −1.9, −2, −2.1, −2.2, −2.3, −2.4, −2.5, −2.6, −2.7, −2.8, −2.9, −3, −3.1, −3.2, −3.3, −3.4, −3.5, −3.6, −3.7, −3.8, −3.9, −4, −4.1, −4.2, −4.3, −4.4, −4.5, −4.6, −4.7, −4.8, −4.9, −5, −5.5, −6, −6.5, −7, −7.5, −8, −8.5, −9, −9.5, −10, −11, −12, −13, −14, −15, −16, −17, −18, −19, −20 or less, can be classified as a loss.

In some embodiments, one algorithm can be used to call or identify significant genetic variations, wherein any segment whose median log 2 ratio was less than or equal to −0.1, −0.11, −0.12, −0.13, −0.14, −0.15, −0.16, −0.17, −0.18, −0.19, −0.2, −0.21, −0.22, −0.23, −0.24, −0.25, −0.26, −0.27, −0.28, −0.29, −0.3, −0.31, −0.32, −0.33, −0.34, −0.35, −0.36, −0.37, −0.38, −0.39, −0.4, −0.41, −0.42, −0.43, −0.44, −0.45, −0.46, −0.47, −0.48, −0.49, −0.5, −0.55, −0.6, −0.65, −0.7, −0.75, −0.8, −0.85, −0.9, −0.95, −1, −1.1, −1.2, −1.3, −1.4, −1.5, −1.6, −1.7, −1.8, −1.9, −2, −2.1, −2.2, −2.3, −2.4, −2.5, −2.6, −2.7, −2.8, −2.9, −3, −3.1, −3.2, −3.3, −3.4, −3.5, −3.6, −3.7, −3.8, −3.9, −4, −4.1, −4.2, −4.3, −4.4, −4.5, −4.6, −4.7, −4.8, −4.9, −5, −5.5, −6, −6.5, −7, −7.5, −8, −8.5, −9, −9.5, −10, −11, −12, −13, −14, −15, −16, −17, −18, −19, −20 or less, can be classified as a loss. For example, any CNV segment whose median log 2 ratio is less than −0.35 as determined by DNAcopy can be classified as a loss. For example, losses can be determined according to a threshold log 2 ratio, which can be set at −0.35. In another embodiment, losses can be determined according to a threshold log 2 ratio, which can be set at −0.5.

In some embodiments, two algorithms can be used to call or identify significant genetic variations, wherein any segment whose median log 2 ratio is less than or equal to −0.1, −0.11, −0.12, −0.13, −0.14, −0.15, −0.16, −0.17, −0.18, −0.19, −0.2, −0.21, −0.22, −0.23, −0.24, −0.25, −0.26, −0.27, −0.28, −0.29, −0.3, −0.31, −0.32, −0.33, −0.34, −0.35, −0.36, −0.37, −0.38, −0.39, −0.4, −0.41, −0.42, −0.43, −0.44, −0.45, −0.46, −0.47, −0.48, −0.49, −0.5, −0.55, −0.6, −0.65, −0.7, −0.75, −0.8, −0.85, −0.9, −0.95, −1, −1.1, −1.2, −1.3, −1.4, −1.5, −1.6, −1.7, −1.8, −1.9, −2, −2.1, −2.2, −2.3, −2.4, −2.5, −2.6, −2.7, −2.8, −2.9, −3, −3.1, −3.2, −3.3, −3.4, −3.5, −3.6, −3.7, −3.8, −3.9, −4, −4.1, −4.2, −4.3, −4.4, −4.5, −4.6, −4.7, −4.8, −4.9, −5, −5.5, −6, −6.5, −7, −7.5, −8, −8.5, −9, −9.5, −10, −11, −12, −13, −14, −15, −16, −17, −18, −19, −20 or less, as determined by one algorithm, and wherein any segment whose median log 2 ratio is less than or equal to −0.1, −0.11, −0.12, −0.13, −0.14, −0.15, −0.16, −0.17, −0.18, −0.19, −0.2, −0.21, −0.22, −0.23, −0.24, −0.25, −0.26, −0.27, −0.28, −0.29, −0.3, −0.31, −0.32, −0.33, −0.34, −0.35, −0.36, −0.37, −0.38, −0.39, −0.4, −0.41, −0.42, −0.43, −0.44, −0.45, −0.46, −0.47, −0.48, −0.49, −0.5, −0.55, −0.6, −0.65, −0.7, −0.75, −0.8, −0.85, −0.9, −0.95, −1, −1.1, −1.2, −1.3, −1.4, −1.5, −1.6, −1.7, −1.8, −1.9, −2, −2.1, −2.2, −2.3, −2.4, −2.5, −2.6, −2.7, −2.8, −2.9, −3, −3.1, −3.2, −3.3, −3.4, −3.5, −3.6, −3.7, −3.8, −3.9, −4, −4.1, −4.2, −4.3, −4.4, −4.5, −4.6, −4.7, −4.8, −4.9, −5, −5.5, −6, −6.5, −7, −7.5, −8, −8.5, −9, −9.5, −10, −11, −12, −13, −14, −15, −16, −17, −18, −19, −20, or less, as determined by the other algorithm can be classified as a loss. For example, CNV calling can comprise using the Aberration Detection Module 2 (ADM2) algorithm and the DNAcopy algorithm, wherein losses can be determined according to a two threshold log 2 ratios, wherein the Aberration Detection Module 2 (ADM2) algorithm log 2 ratio can be −0.25 and the DNAcopy algorithm log 2 ratio can be −0.41.

In some embodiments, the use of two algorithms to call or identify significant genetic variations can be a stringent method. In some embodiments, the use of two algorithms to call or identify significant genetic variations can be a more stringent method compared to the use of one algorithm to call or identify significant genetic variations.

In some embodiments, any CNV segment whose median log 2 ratio is greater than a log 2 ratio threshold value can be classified as a gain. For example, any segment whose median log 2 ratio is greater than 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, or more can be classified as a gain.

In some embodiments, one algorithm can be used to call or identify significant genetic variations, wherein any segment whose median log 2 ratio is greater than or equal to 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, or more can be classified as a gain. For example, any CNV segment whose median log 2 ratio is greater than 0.35 as determined by DNAcopy can be classified as a gain. For example, gains can be determined according to a threshold log 2 ratio, which can be set at 0.35. In another embodiment, gains can be determined according to a threshold log 2 ratio, which can be set at 0.5.

In some embodiments, two algorithms can be used to call or identify significant genetic variations, wherein any segment whose median log 2 ratio is greater than or equal to 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3 or more, as determined by one algorithm, and wherein any segment whose median log 2 ratio is greater than or equal to 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49, or 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, or more, as determined by the other algorithm the can be classified as a gain. For example, CNV calling can comprise using the Aberration Detection Module 2 (ADM2) algorithm and the DNAcopy algorithm, wherein gains can be determined according to a two threshold log 2 ratios, wherein the Aberration Detection Module 2 (ADM2) algorithm log 2 ratio can be 0.25 and the DNAcopy algorithm log 2 ratio can be 0.32.

Any CNV segment whose absolute (median log-ratio/mad) value is less than 2 can be excluded (not identified as a significant genetic variation). For example, any CNV segment whose absolute (median log-ratio/mad) value is less than 2, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, or 0.5 or less can be excluded

In some embodiments, multivariate analyses or joint risk analyses, including the use of multiplicative model for overall risk assessment, can subsequently be used to determine the overall risk conferred based on the genotype status at the multiple loci. Use of a multiplicative model, for example, assuming that the risk of individual risk variants multiply to establish the overall effect, allows for a straight-forward calculation of the overall risk for multiple markers. The multiplicative model is a parsimonious model that usually fits the data of complex traits reasonably well. Deviations from multiplicity have been rarely described in the context of common variants for common diseases, and if reported are usually only suggestive since very large sample sizes can be required to be able to demonstrate statistical interactions between loci. Assessment of risk based on such analysis can subsequently be used in the methods, uses and kits of the disclosure, as described herein.

In some embodiments, the significance of increased or decreased susceptibility can be measured by a percentage. In some embodiments, a significant increased susceptibility can be measured as a relative susceptibility of at least 1.2, including but not limited to: at least 1.3, at least 1.4, at least 1.5, at least 1.6, at least 1.7, at least 1.8, at least 1.9, at least 2.0, at least 2.5, at least 3.0, at least 4.0, at least 5.0, at least 6.0, at least 7.0, at least 8.0, at least 9.0, at least 10.0, and at least 15.0. In some embodiments, a relative susceptibility of at least 2.0, at least 3.0, at least 4.0, at least, 5.0, at least 6.0, or at least 10.0 is significant. Other values for significant susceptibility are also contemplated, for example, at least 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, or any suitable other numerical values, wherein the values are also within scope of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, a significant increase in susceptibility is at least about 20%, including but not limited to about 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 800%, 900%, 1000%, and 1500%. In one particular embodiment, a significant increase in susceptibility is at least 100%.

Other cutoffs or ranges as deemed suitable by the person skilled in the art to characterize the disclosure are also contemplated, and those are also within scope of the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, a significant increase in susceptibility is characterized by a p-value, such as a p-value of less than 0.5, less than 0.4, less than 0.3, less than 0.2, less than 0.1, less than 0.05, less than 0.01, less than 0.001, less than 0.0001, less than 0.00001, less than 0.000001, less than 0.0000001, less than 0.00000001, or less than 0.000000001.

In some embodiments, an individual who is at a decreased susceptibility for or the lack of presence of a condition (e.g., PML) can be an individual in whom at least one genetic variation, conferring decreased susceptibility for or the lack of presence of the condition is identified. In some embodiments, the genetic variations conferring decreased susceptibility are also protective. In one aspect, the genetic variations can confer a significant decreased susceptibility of or lack of presence of PML.

In some embodiments, significant decreased susceptibility can be measured as a relative susceptibility of less than 0.9, including but not limited to less than 0.9, less than 0.8, less than 0.7, less than 0.6, less than 0.5, less than 0.4, less than 0.3, less than 0.2 and less than 0.1. In some embodiments, the decrease in susceptibility is at least 20%, including but not limited to at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% and at least 98%. Other cutoffs or ranges as deemed suitable by the person, skilled in the art to characterize the disclosure are however also contemplated, and those are also within scope of the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, a significant decrease in susceptibility is characterized by a p-value, such as a p-value of less than 0.05, less than 0.01, less than 0.001, less than 0.0001, less than 0.00001, less than 0.000001, less than 0.0000001, less than 0.00000001, or less than 0.000000001. Other tests for significance can be used, for example, a Fisher-exact test. Other statistical tests of significance known to the skilled person are also contemplated and are also within scope of the disclosure.

In some preferred embodiments, the significance of increased or decreased susceptibility can be determined according to the ratio of measurements from a test subject to a reference subject. In some embodiments, losses or gains of one or more CNVs can be determined according to a threshold log₂ ratio determined by these measurements. In some embodiments, a log₂ ratio value greater than 0.35, or 0.5, is indicative of a gain of one or more CNVs. In some embodiments, a log₂ ratio value less than −0.35, or −0.5, is indicative of a loss of one or more CNVs. In some embodiments, the ratio of measurements from a test subject to a reference subject may be inverted such that the log 2 ratios of copy number gains are negative and the log 2 ratios of copy number losses are positive.

In some embodiments, the combined or overall susceptibility associated with a plurality of variants associated with PML can also be assessed; for example, the genetic variations described herein to be associated with susceptibility to PML can be combined with other common genetic risk factors. Combined risk for such genetic variants can be estimated in an analogous fashion to the methods described herein.

Calculating risk conferred by a particular genotype for the individual can be based on comparing the genotype of the individual to previously determined risk expressed, for example, as a relative risk (RR) or an odds ratio (OR), for the genotype, for example, for a heterozygous carrier of an at-risk variant for PML. An odds ratio can be a statistical measure used as a metric of causality. For example, in genetic disease research it can be used to convey the significance of a variant in a disease cohort relative to an unaffected/normal cohort. The calculated risk for the individual can be the relative risk for a subject, or for a specific genotype of a subject, compared to the average population. The average population risk can be expressed as a weighted average of the risks of different genotypes, using results from a reference population, and the appropriate calculations to calculate the risk of a genotype group relative to the population can then be performed. Alternatively, the risk for an individual can be based on a comparison of particular genotypes, for example, heterozygous and/or homozygous carriers of an at-risk allele of a marker compared with non-carriers of the at-risk allele (or pair of alleles in the instance of compound heterozygous variants, wherein one variant impacts the maternally inherited allele and the other impacts the paternally inherited allele). Using the population average can, in certain embodiments, be more convenient, since it provides a measure that can be easy to interpret for the user, for example, a measure that gives the risk for the individual, based on his/her genotype, compared with the average in the population.

In some embodiments, the OR value can be calculated as follows: OR=(A/(N1−A))/(U/(N2−U)), where A=number of affected cases with variant, N1=total number of affected cases, U=number of unaffected cases with variant and N2=total number of unaffected cases. In circumstances where U=0, it is conventional to set U=1, so as to avoid infinities. In some preferred embodiments, the OR can be calculated essentially as above, except that where U or A=0, 0.5 is added to all of A, N1, U, N2. In another embodiment, a Fisher's Exact Test (FET) can be calculated using standard methods. In another embodiment, the p-values can be corrected for false discovery rate (FDR) using the Benjamini-Hochberg method (Benjamini Y. and Hochberg Y., J. Royal Statistical Society 57:289 (1995); Osborne J. A. and Barker C. A. (2007)).

In certain embodiments of the disclosure, a genetic variation is correlated to PML by referencing genetic variation data to a look-up table that comprises correlations between the genetic variation and PML. The genetic variation in certain embodiments comprises at least one indication of the genetic variation. In some embodiments, the table comprises a correlation for one genetic variation. In other embodiments, the table comprises a correlation for a plurality of genetic variations in both scenarios, by referencing to a look-up table that gives an indication of a correlation between a genetic variation and PML, a risk for PML, or a susceptibility to PML, can be identified in the individual from whom the nucleic acid sample is derived.

The present disclosure also pertains to methods of clinical screening, for example, diagnosis, prognosis, or theranosis of a subject performed by a medical professional using the methods disclosed herein. In other embodiments, the disclosure pertains to methods of screening performed by a layman. The layman can be a customer of a genotyping, microarray, exome sequencing, or whole genome sequencing service provider. The layman can also be a genotype, microarray, exome sequencing, or whole genome sequencing service provider, who performs genetic analysis on a DNA sample from an individual, in order to provide service related to genetic risk factors for particular traits or diseases, based on the genotype status of the subject obtained from use of the methods described herein. The resulting genotype or genetic information can be made available to the individual and can be compared to information about PML or risk of developing PML associated with one or various genetic variations, including but not limited to, information from public or private genetic variation databases or literature and scientific publications. The screening applications of PML-associated genetic variations, as described herein, can, for example, be performed by an individual, a health professional, or a third party, for example a service provider who interprets genotype information from the subject. In some embodiments the genetic analysis is performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory (i.e. the federal regulatory standards the U.S. that are specified in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) or equivalent laboratories in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

The information derived from analyzing sequence data can be communicated to any particular body, including the individual from which the nucleic acid sample or sequence data is derived, a guardian or representative of the individual, clinician, research professional, medical professional, service provider, and medical insurer or insurance company. Medical professionals can be, for example, doctors, nurses, medical laboratory technologists, and pharmacists. Research professionals can be, for example, principle investigators, research technicians, postdoctoral trainees, and graduate students.

In some embodiments, a professional can be assisted by determining whether specific genetic variants are present in a nucleic acid sample from a subject, and communicating information about genetic variants to a professional. After information about specific genetic variants is reported, a medical professional can take one or more actions that can affect subject care. For example, a medical professional can record information in the subject's medical record (e.g., electronic health record or electronic medical record, including, but not limited to, country-scale health services such as the National Health Service in the United Kingdom) regarding the subject's risk of developing PML. In some embodiments, a medical professional can record information regarding risk assessment, or otherwise transform the subject's medical record, to reflect the subject's current medical condition. In some embodiments, a medical professional can review and evaluate a subject's entire medical record and assess multiple treatment strategies for clinical intervention of a subject's condition. In another embodiment, information can be recorded in the context of the system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), which is currently using the 10th revision (ICD-10 codes). For example, the ICD-10 code for PML is A81.2, whereas the ICD-10 code for multiple sclerosis is G35.

A medical professional can initiate or modify treatment after receiving information regarding a subject's screening for PML, for example. In some embodiments, a medical professional can recommend a change in therapy or exclude a therapy. In some embodiments, a medical professional can enroll a subject in a clinical trial for, by way of example, detecting correlations between a haplotype as described herein and any measurable or quantifiable parameter relating to the outcome of the treatment as described above.

In some embodiments, a medical professional can communicate information regarding a subject's screening of developing PML to a subject or a subject's family. In some embodiments, a medical professional can provide a subject and/or a subject's family with information regarding PML and risk assessment information, including treatment options, and referrals to specialists. In some embodiments, a medical professional can provide a copy of a subject's medical records to a specialist. In some embodiments, a research professional can apply information regarding a subject's risk of developing PML to advance scientific research. In some embodiments, a research professional can obtain a subject's haplotype as described herein to evaluate a subject's enrollment, or continued participation, in a research study or clinical trial. In some embodiments, a research professional can communicate information regarding a subject's screening of PML to a medical professional. In some embodiments, a research professional can refer a subject to a medical professional.

Any appropriate method can be used to communicate information to another person. For example, information can be given directly or indirectly to a professional and a laboratory technician can input a subject's genetic variation as described herein into a computer-based record. In some embodiments, information is communicated by making a physical alteration to medical or research records. For example, a medical professional can make a permanent notation or flag a medical record for communicating the risk assessment to other medical professionals reviewing the record. In addition, any type of communication can be used to communicate the risk assessment information. For example, mail, e-mail, telephone, and face-to-face interactions can be used. The information also can be communicated to a professional by making that information electronically available to the professional. For example, the information can be communicated to a professional by placing the information on a computer database such that the professional can access the information. In addition, the information can be communicated to a hospital, clinic, or research facility serving as an agent for the professional.

Results of these tests, and optionally interpretive information, can be returned to the subject, the health care provider or to a third party. The results can be communicated to the tested subject, for example, with a prognosis and optionally interpretive materials that can help the subject understand the test results and prognosis; used by a health care provider, for example, to determine whether to administer a specific drug, or whether a subject should be assigned to a specific category, for example, a category associated with a specific disease endophenotype, or with drug response or non-response; used by a third party such as a healthcare payer, for example, an insurance company or HMO, or other agency, to determine whether or not to reimburse a health care provider for services to the subject, or whether to approve the provision of services to the subject. For example, the healthcare payer can decide to reimburse a health care provider for treatments for PML if the subject has PML or has an increased risk of developing PML.

Also provided herein are databases that include a list of genetic variations as described herein, and wherein the list can be largely or entirely limited to genetic variations identified as useful for screening PML as described herein. The list can be stored, for example, on a flat file or computer-readable medium. The databases can further include information regarding one or more subjects, for example, whether a subject is affected or unaffected, clinical information such as endophenotype, age of onset of symptoms, any treatments administered and outcomes, for example, data relevant to pharmacogenomics, diagnostics, prognostics or theranostics, and other details, for example, data about the disorder in the subject, or environmental (e.g., including, but not limited to, infection or a history of infection with HIV or JCV) or other genetic factors. The databases can be used to detect correlations between a particular haplotype and the information regarding the subject.

The methods described herein can also include the generation of reports for use, for example, by a subject, care giver, or researcher, that include information regarding a subject's genetic variations, and optionally further information such as treatments administered, treatment history, medical history, predicted response, and actual response. The reports can be recorded in a tangible medium, e.g., a computer-readable disk, a solid state memory device, or an optical storage device.

Methods of Screening Using Variations in RNA and/or Polypeptides

In some embodiments of the disclosure, screening of PML can be made by examining or comparing changes in expression, localization, binding partners, and composition of a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid variant associated with PML, for example, in those instances where the genetic variations of the present disclosure results in a change in the composition or expression of the polypeptide and/or RNA, for example, mRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and other noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). Thus, screening of PML can be made by examining expression and/or composition of one of these polypeptides and/or RNA, or another polypeptide and/or RNA encoded by a nucleic acid associated with PML, in those instances where the genetic variation of the present disclosure results in a change in the expression, localization, binding partners, and/or composition of the polypeptide and/or RNA. In some embodiments, screening can comprise diagnosing a subject. In some embodiments, screening can comprise determining a prognosis of a subject, for example determining the susceptibility of developing PML. In some embodiments, screening can comprise theranosing a subject.

The genetic variations described herein that show association to PML can play a role through their effect on one or more of these genes, either by directly impacting one or more genes or influencing the expression of one or more nearby genes. For example, while not intending to be limited by theory, it is generally expected that a deletion of a chromosomal segment comprising a particular gene, or a fragment of a gene, can either result in an altered composition or expression, or both, of the encoded polypeptide and/or mRNA. Likewise, duplications, or high number copy number variations, are in general expected to result in increased expression of encoded polypeptide and/or RNA if the gene they are expressed from is fully encompassed within the duplicated (or triplicated, or even higher copy number gains) genomic segment, or conversely can result in decreased expression or a disrupted RNA or polypeptide if one or both breakpoints of the copy number gain disrupt a given gene. Other possible mechanisms affecting genes within a genetic variation region include, for example, effects on transcription, effects on RNA splicing, alterations in relative amounts of alternative splice forms of mRNA, effects on RNA stability, effects on transport from the nucleus to cytoplasm, and effects on the efficiency and accuracy of translation. Thus, DNA variations can be detected directly, using the subjects unamplified or amplified genomic DNA, or indirectly, using RNA or DNA obtained from the subject's tissue(s) that are present in an aberrant form or expression level as a result of the genetic variations of the disclosure showing association to PML. In another embodiment, DNA variations can be detected indirectly using a polypeptide or protein obtained from the subject's tissue(s) that is present in an aberrant form or expression level as a result of genetic variations of the disclosure showing association to the PML. In another embodiment, an aberrant form or expression level of a polypeptide or protein that results from one or more genetic variations of the disclosure showing association to PML can be detected indirectly via another polypeptide or protein present in the same biological/cellular pathway that is modulated or interacts with said polypeptide or protein that results from one or more genetic variations of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the genetic variations of the disclosure showing association to PML can affect the expression of a gene within the genetic variation region. In some embodiments, a genetic variation affecting an exonic region of a gene can affect, disrupt, or modulate the expression of the gene. In some embodiments, a genetic variation affecting an intronic or intergenic region of a gene can affect, disrupt, or modulate the expression of the gene.

Certain genetic variation regions can have flanking duplicated segments, and genes within such segments can have altered expression and/or composition as a result of such genomic alterations. Regulatory elements affecting gene expression can be located far away, even as far as tens or hundreds of kilobases away, from the gene that is regulated by said regulatory elements. Thus, in some embodiments, regulatory elements for genes that are located outside the gene (e.g., upstream or downstream of the gene) can be located within the genetic variation, and thus be affected by the genetic variation. It is thus contemplated that the detection of the genetic variations described herein, can be used for assessing expression for one or more of associated genes not directly impacted by the genetic variations. In some embodiments, a genetic variation affecting an intergenic region of a gene can affect, disrupt, or modulate the expression of a gene located elsewhere in the genome, such as described above. For example, a genetic variation affecting an intergenic region of a gene can affect, disrupt, or modulate the expression of a transcription factor, located elsewhere in the genome, which regulates the gene. Regulatory elements can also be located within a gene, such as within intronic regions, and similarly impact the expression level of the gene and ultimately the protein expression level without changing the structure of the protein. The effects of genetic variants on regulatory elements can manifest in a tissue-specific manner; for example, one or more transcription factors that bind to the regulatory element that is impacted by one or more genetic variations may be expressed at higher concentration in neurons as compared to skin cells (i.e., the impact of the one or more genetic variations may be primarily evident in neuronal cells).

In some embodiments, genetic variations of the disclosure showing association to PML can affect protein expression at the translational level. It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that this can occur by increased or decreased expression of one or more microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulates expression of a protein known to be important, or implicated, in the cause, onset, or progression of PML. Increased or decreased expression of the one or more miRNAs can result from gain or loss of the whole miRNA gene, disruption or impairment of a portion of the gene (e.g., by an indel or CNV), or even a single base change (SNP or SNV) that produces an altered, non-functional or aberrant functioning miRNA sequence. It can also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the expression of protein, for example, one known to cause PML by increased or decreased expression, can result due to a genetic variation that results in alteration of an existing miRNA binding site within the polypeptide's mRNA transcript, or even creates a new miRNA binding site that leads to aberrant polypeptide expression.

A variety of methods can be used for detecting polypeptide composition and/or expression levels, including but not limited to enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), Western blots, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, peptide arrays, colorimetry, electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, immunoprecipitations, immunoassays, and immunofluorescence and other methods well-known in the art. A test nucleic acid sample from a subject can be assessed for the presence of an alteration in the expression and/or an alteration in composition of the polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid associated with PML. An “alteration” in the polypeptide expression or composition, as used herein, refers to an alteration in expression or composition in a test nucleic acid sample, as compared to the expression or composition of the polypeptide in a control nucleic acid sample. Such alteration can, for example, be an alteration in the quantitative polypeptide expression or can be an alteration in the qualitative polypeptide expression, for example, expression of a mutant polypeptide or of a different splicing variant, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, screening of PML can be made by detecting a particular splicing variant encoded by a nucleic acid associated with PML, or a particular pattern of splicing variants.

Antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal and can be labeled or unlabeled. An intact antibody or a fragment thereof can be used. The term “labeled”, with regard to the probe or antibody, is intended to encompass direct labeling of the probe or antibody by coupling a detectable substance to the probe or antibody, as well as indirect labeling of the probe or antibody by reactivity with another reagent that is directly labeled as previously described herein. Other non-limiting examples of indirect labeling include detection of a primary antibody using a labeled secondary antibody, for example, a fluorescently-labeled secondary antibody and end-labeling of a DNA probe with biotin such that it can be detected with fluorescently-labeled streptavidin.

Methods of Detecting Genetic Variations

In some embodiments, standard techniques for genotyping for the presence genetic variations, for example, amplification, can be used. Amplification of nucleic acids can be accomplished using methods known in the art. Generally, sequence information from the region of interest can be used to design oligonucleotide primers that can be identical or similar in sequence to opposite strands of a template to be amplified. In some embodiments, amplification methods can include but are not limited to, fluorescence-based techniques utilizing PCR, for example, ligase chain reaction (LCR), Nested PCR, transcription amplification, self-sustained sequence replication, nucleic acid based sequence amplification (NASBA), and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Guidelines for selecting primers for PCR amplification are well known in the art. In some embodiments, a computer program can be used to design primers, for example, Oligo (National Biosciences, Inc, Plymouth Minn.), MacVector (Kodak/IBI), and GCG suite of sequence analysis programs.

In some embodiments, commercial methodologies available for genotyping, for example, SNP genotyping, can be used, but are not limited to, TaqMan genotyping assays (Applied Biosystems), SNPlex platforms (Applied Biosystems), gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, size exclusion chromatography, mass spectrometry, for example, MassARRAY system (Sequenom), minisequencing methods, real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Bio-Plex system (BioRad), CEQ and SNPstream systems (Beckman), array hybridization technology, for example, Affymetrix GeneChip (Perlegen), BeadArray Technologies, for example, Illumina GoldenGate and Infinium assays, array tag technology, Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA), and endonuclease-based fluorescence hybridization technology (Invader assay, either using unamplified or amplified genomic DNA, or unamplified total RNA, or unamplified or amplified cDNA; Third Wave/Hologic). PCR can be a procedure in which target nucleic acid is amplified in a manner similar to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,195 and subsequent modifications of the procedure described therein. PCR can include a three phase temperature cycle of denaturation of DNA into single strands, annealing of primers to the denatured strands, and extension of the primers by a thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme. This cycle can be repeated so that there are enough copies to be detected and analyzed. In some embodiments, real-time quantitative PCR can be used to determine genetic variations, wherein quantitative PCR can permit both detection and quantification of a DNA sequence in a nucleic acid sample, for example, as an absolute number of copies or as a relative amount when normalized to DNA input or other normalizing genes. In some embodiments, methods of quantification can include the use of fluorescent dyes that can intercalate with double-stranded DNA, and modified DNA oligonucleotide probes that can fluoresce when hybridized with a complementary DNA.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, a nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject can be collected and PCR can used to amplify a fragment of nucleic acid that comprises one or more genetic variations that can be indicative of a susceptibility to PML. In some embodiments, detection of genetic variations can be accomplished by expression analysis, for example, by using quantitative PCR. In some embodiments, this technique can assess the presence or absence of a genetic alteration in the expression or composition of one or more polypeptides or splicing variants encoded by a nucleic acid associated with PML.

In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sample from a subject containing a SNP can be amplified by PCR prior to detection with a probe. In such an embodiment, the amplified DNA serves as the template for a detection probe and, in some embodiments, an enhancer probe. Certain embodiments of the detection probe, the enhancer probe, and/or the primers used for amplification of the template by PCR can comprise the use of modified bases, for example, modified A, T, C, G, and U, wherein the use of modified bases can be useful for adjusting the melting temperature of the nucleotide probe and/or primer to the template DNA, In some embodiments, modified bases are used in the design of the detection nucleotide probe. Any modified base known to the skilled person can be selected in these methods, and the selection of suitable bases is well within the scope of the skilled person based on the teachings herein and known bases available from commercial sources as known to the skilled person.

In some embodiments, identification of genetic variations can be accomplished using hybridization methods. The presence of a specific marker allele or a particular genomic segment comprising a genetic variation, or representative of a genetic variation, can be indicated by sequence-specific hybridization of a nucleic acid probe specific for the particular allele or the genetic variation in a nucleic acid sample that has or has not been amplified but methods described herein. The presence of more than one specific marker allele or several genetic variations can be indicated by using two or more sequence-specific nucleic acid probes, wherein each is specific for a particular allele and/or genetic variation.

Hybridization can be performed by methods well known to the person skilled in the art, for example, hybridization techniques such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), Southern analysis, Northern analysis, or in situ hybridization. In some embodiments, hybridization refers to specific hybridization, wherein hybridization can be performed with no mismatches. Specific hybridization, if present, can be using standard methods. In some embodiments, if specific hybridization occurs between a nucleic acid probe and the nucleic acid in the nucleic acid sample, the nucleic acid sample can contain a sequence that can be complementary to a nucleotide present in the nucleic acid probe. In some embodiments, if a nucleic acid probe can contain a particular allele of a polymorphic marker, or particular alleles for a plurality of markers, specific hybridization is indicative of the nucleic acid being completely complementary to the nucleic acid probe, including the particular alleles at polymorphic markers within the probe. In some embodiments a probe can contain more than one marker alleles of a particular haplotype, for example, a probe can contain alleles complementary to 2, 3, 4, 5 or all of the markers that make up a particular haplotype. In some embodiments detection of one or more particular markers of the haplotype in the nucleic acid sample is indicative that the source of the nucleic acid sample has the particular haplotype.

In some embodiments, PCR conditions and primers can be developed that amplify a product only when the variant allele is present or only when the wild type allele is present, for example, allele-specific PCR. In some embodiments of allele-specific PCR, a method utilizing a detection oligonucleotide probe comprising a fluorescent moiety or group at its 3′ terminus and a quencher at its 5′ terminus, and an enhancer oligonucleotide, can be employed (see e.g., Kutyavin et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 34:e128 (2006)).

An allele-specific primer/probe can be an oligonucleotide that is specific for particular a polymorphism can be prepared using standard methods. In some embodiments, allele-specific oligonucleotide probes can specifically hybridize to a nucleic acid region that contains a genetic variation. In some embodiments, hybridization conditions can be selected such that a nucleic acid probe can specifically bind to the sequence of interest, for example, the variant nucleic acid sequence.

In some embodiments, allele-specific restriction digest analysis can be used to detect the existence of a polymorphic variant of a polymorphism, if alternate polymorphic variants of the polymorphism can result in the creation or elimination of a restriction site. Allele-specific restriction digests can be performed, for example, with the particular restriction enzyme that can differentiate the alleles. In some embodiments, PCR can be used to amplify a region comprising the polymorphic site, and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis can be conducted. In some embodiments, for sequence variants that do not alter a common restriction site, mutagenic primers can be designed that can introduce one or more restriction sites when the variant allele is present or when the wild type allele is present.

In some embodiments, fluorescence polarization template-directed dye-terminator incorporation (FP-TDI) can be used to determine which of multiple polymorphic variants of a polymorphism can be present in a subject. Unlike the use of allele-specific probes or primers, this method can employ primers that can terminate adjacent to a polymorphic site, so that extension of the primer by a single nucleotide can result in incorporation of a nucleotide complementary to the polymorphic variant at the polymorphic site.

In some embodiments, DNA containing an amplified portion can be dot-blotted, using standard methods and the blot contacted with the oligonucleotide probe. The presence of specific hybridization of the probe to the DNA can then be detected. The methods can include determining the genotype of a subject with respect to both copies of the polymorphic site present in the genome, wherein if multiple polymorphic variants exist at a site, this can be appropriately indicated by specifying which variants are present in a subject. Any of the detection means described herein can be used to determine the genotype of a subject with respect to one or both copies of the polymorphism present in the subject's genome.

In some embodiments, a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe can be used in addition to, or instead of, a nucleic acid probe in the methods described herein. A PNA can be a DNA mimic having a peptide-like, inorganic backbone, for example, N-(2-aminoethyl) glycine units with an organic base (A, G, C, T or U) attached to the glycine nitrogen via a methylene carbonyl linker.

Nucleic acid sequence analysis can also be used to detect genetic variations, for example, genetic variations can be detected by sequencing exons, introns, 5′ untranslated sequences, or 3′ untranslated sequences. One or more methods of nucleic acid analysis that are available to those skilled in the art can be used to detect genetic variations, including but not limited to, direct manual sequencing, automated fluorescent sequencing, single-stranded conformation polymorphism assays (SSCP); clamped denaturing gel electrophoresis (CDGE); denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE or TDGE); conformational sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE); denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (IR-MALDI) mass spectrometry, mobility shift analysis, quantitative real-time PCR, restriction enzyme analysis, heteroduplex analysis; chemical mismatch cleavage (CMC), RNase protection assays, use of polypeptides that recognize nucleotide mismatches, allele-specific PCR, real-time pyrophosphate DNA sequencing, PCR amplification in combination with denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC), and combinations of such methods.

Sequencing can be accomplished through classic Sanger sequencing methods, which are known in the art. In some embodiments sequencing can be performed using high-throughput sequencing methods some of which allow detection of a sequenced nucleotide immediately after or upon its incorporation into a growing strand, for example, detection of sequence in substantially real time or real time. In some cases, high throughput sequencing generates at least 1,000, at least 5,000, at least 10,000, at least 20,000, at least 30,000, at least 40,000, at least 50,000, at least 100,000 or at least 500,000 sequence reads per hour; with each read being at least 50, at least 60, at least 70, at least 80, at least 90, at least 100, at least 120 or at least 150 bases per read (or 500-1,000 bases per read for 454).

High-throughput sequencing methods can include but are not limited to, Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (MPSS, Lynx Therapeutics), Polony sequencing, 454 pyrosequencing, Illumina (Solexa) sequencing, Illumina (Solexa) sequencing using 10× Genomics library preparation, SOLiD sequencing, on semiconductor sequencing, DNA nanoball sequencing, Helioscope™ single molecule sequencing, Single Molecule SMRT™ sequencing, Single Molecule real time (RNAP) sequencing, Nanopore DNA sequencing, and/or sequencing by hybridization, for example, a non-enzymatic method that uses a DNA microarray, or microfluidic Sanger sequencing.

In some embodiments, high-throughput sequencing can involve the use of technology available by Helicos BioSciences Corporation (Cambridge, Mass.) such as the Single Molecule Sequencing by Synthesis (SMSS) method. SMSS is unique because it allows for sequencing the entire human genome in up to 24 hours. This fast sequencing method also allows for detection of a SNP/nucleotide in a sequence in substantially real time or real time. Finally, SMSS is powerful because, like the MIP technology, it does not use a pre-amplification step prior to hybridization. SMSS does not use any amplification. SMSS is described in US Publication Application Nos. 20060024711; 20060024678; 20060012793; 20060012784; and 20050100932. In some embodiments, high-throughput sequencing involves the use of technology available by 454 Life Sciences, Inc. (a Roche company, Branford, Conn.) such as the PicoTiterPlate device which includes a fiber optic plate that transmits chemiluminescent signal generated by the sequencing reaction to be recorded by a CCD camera in the instrument. This use of fiber optics allows for the detection of a minimum of 20 million base pairs in 4.5 hours.

In some embodiments, PCR-amplified single-strand nucleic acid can be hybridized to a primer and incubated with a polymerase, ATP sulfurylase, luciferase, apyrase, and the substrates luciferin and adenosine 5′ phosphosulfate. Next, deoxynucleotide triphosphates corresponding to the bases A, C, G, and T (U) can be added sequentially. A base incorporation can be accompanied by release of pyrophosphate, which can be converted to ATP by sulfurylase, which can drive synthesis of oxyluciferin and the release of visible light. Since pyrophosphate release can be equimolar with the number of incorporated bases, the light given off can be proportional to the number of nucleotides adding in any one step. The process can repeat until the entire sequence can be determined. In some embodiments, pyrosequencing can be utilized to analyze amplicons to determine whether breakpoints are present. In some embodiments, pyrosequencing can map surrounding sequences as an internal quality control.

Pyrosequencing analysis methods are known in the art. Sequence analysis can include a four-color sequencing by ligation scheme (degenerate ligation), which involves hybridizing an anchor primer to one of four positions. Then an enzymatic ligation reaction of the anchor primer to a population of degenerate nonamers that are labeled with fluorescent dyes can be performed. At any given cycle, the population of nonamers that is used can be structured such that the identity of one of its positions can be correlated with the identity of the fluorophore attached to that nonamer. To the extent that the ligase discriminates for complementarily at that queried position, the fluorescent signal can allow the inference of the identity of the base. After performing the ligation and four-color imaging, the anchor primer: nonamer complexes can be stripped and a new cycle begins. Methods to image sequence information after performing ligation are known in the art.

In some embodiments, analysis by restriction enzyme digestion can be used to detect a particular genetic variation if the genetic variation results in creation or elimination of one or more restriction sites relative to a reference sequence. In some embodiments, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis can be conducted, wherein the digestion pattern of the relevant DNA fragment indicates the presence or absence of the particular genetic variation in the nucleic acid sample.

In some embodiments, arrays of oligonucleotide probes that can be complementary to target nucleic acid sequence segments from a subject can be used to identify genetic variations. In some embodiments, an array of oligonucleotide probes comprises an oligonucleotide array, for example, a microarray. In some embodiments, the present disclosure features arrays that include a substrate having a plurality of addressable areas, and methods of using them. At least one area of the plurality includes a nucleic acid probe that binds specifically to a sequence comprising a genetic variation, and can be used to detect the absence or presence of the genetic variation, for example, one or more SNPs, microsatellites, or CNVs, as described herein, to determine or identify an allele or genotype. For example, the array can include one or more nucleic acid probes that can be used to detect a genetic variation associated with a gene and/or gene product. In some embodiments, the array can further comprise at least one area that includes a nucleic acid probe that can be used to specifically detect another marker associated with PML as described herein.

Microarray hybridization can be performed by hybridizing a nucleic acid of interest, for example, a nucleic acid encompassing a genetic variation, with the array and detecting hybridization using nucleic acid probes. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid of interest is amplified prior to hybridization. Hybridization and detecting can be carried out according to standard methods described in Published PCT Applications: WO 92/10092 and WO 95/11995, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,424,186. For example, an array can be scanned to determine the position on the array to which the nucleic acid hybridizes. The hybridization data obtained from the scan can be, for example, in the form of fluorescence intensities as a function of location on the array.

Arrays can be formed on substrates fabricated with materials such as paper; glass; plastic, for example, polypropylene, nylon, or polystyrene; polyacrylamide; nitrocellulose; silicon; optical fiber; or any other suitable solid or semisolid support; and can be configured in a planar, for example, glass plates or silicon chips); or three dimensional, for example, pins, fibers, beads, particles, microtiter wells, and capillaries, configuration.

Methods for generating arrays are known in the art and can include for example; photolithographic methods (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,143,854, 5,510,270 and 5,527,681); mechanical methods, for example, directed-flow methods (U.S. Pat. No. 5,384,261); pin-based methods (U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,514); bead-based techniques (PCT US/93/04145); solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis methods; or by other methods known to a person skilled in the art (see, e.g., Bier, F. F., et al., Adv Biochem Eng Biotechnol 109:433-53 (2008); Hoheisel, J. D., Nat Rev Genet 7: 200-10 (2006); Fan, J. B., et al., Methods Enzymol 410:57-73 (2006); Raqoussis, J. & Elvidge, G., Expert Rev Mol Design 6: 145-52 (2006); Mockler, T. C., et al., Genomics 85: 1-15 (2005), and references cited therein, the entire teachings of each of which are incorporated by reference herein). Many additional descriptions of the preparation and use of oligonucleotide arrays for detection of polymorphisms can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,858,394, 6,429,027, 5,445,934, 5,700,637, 5,744,305, 5,945,334, 6,054,270, 6,300,063, 6,733,977, 7,364,858, EP 619 321, and EP 373 203, the entire teachings of which are incorporated by reference herein. Methods for array production, hybridization, and analysis are also described in Snijders et al., Nat. Genetics 29:263-264 (2001); Klein et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96:4494-4499 (1999); Albertson et al., Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 78:289-298 (2003); and Snijders et al., “BAC microarray based comparative genomic hybridization,” in: Zhao et al., (eds), Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes: Methods and Protocols, Methods in Molecular Biology, Humana Press (2002).

In some embodiments, oligonucleotide probes forming an array can be attached to a substrate by any number of techniques, including, but not limited to, in situ synthesis, for example, high-density oligonucleotide arrays, using photolithographic techniques; spotting/printing a medium to low density on glass, nylon, or nitrocellulose; by masking; and by dot-blotting on a nylon or nitrocellulose hybridization membrane. In some embodiments, oligonucleotides can be immobilized via a linker, including but not limited to, by covalent, ionic, or physical linkage. Linkers for immobilizing nucleic acids and polypeptides, including reversible or cleavable linkers, are known in the art (U.S. Pat. No. 5,451,683 and WO98/20019). In some embodiments, oligonucleotides can be non-covalently immobilized on a substrate by hybridization to anchors, by means of magnetic beads, or in a fluid phase, for example, in wells or capillaries.

An array can comprise oligonucleotide hybridization probes capable of specifically hybridizing to different genetic variations. In some embodiments, oligonucleotide arrays can comprise a plurality of different oligonucleotide probes coupled to a surface of a substrate in different known locations. In some embodiments, oligonucleotide probes can exhibit differential or selective binding to polymorphic sites, and can be readily designed by one of ordinary skill in the art, for example, an oligonucleotide that is perfectly complementary to a sequence that encompasses a polymorphic site, for example, a sequence that includes the polymorphic site, within it, or at one end, can hybridize preferentially to a nucleic acid comprising that sequence, as opposed to a nucleic acid comprising an alternate polymorphic variant.

In some embodiments, arrays can include multiple detection blocks, for example, multiple groups of probes designed for detection of particular polymorphisms. In some embodiments, these arrays can be used to analyze multiple different polymorphisms. In some embodiments, detection blocks can be grouped within a single array or in multiple, separate arrays, wherein varying conditions, for example, conditions optimized for particular polymorphisms, can be used during hybridization. General descriptions of using oligonucleotide arrays for detection of polymorphisms can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,858,659 and 5,837,832. In addition to oligonucleotide arrays, cDNA arrays can be used similarly in certain embodiments.

The methods described herein can include but are not limited to providing an array as described herein; contacting the array with a nucleic acid sample, and detecting binding of a nucleic acid from the nucleic acid sample to the array. In some embodiments, the method can comprise amplifying nucleic acid from the nucleic acid sample, for example, a region associated with PML or a region that includes another region associated with PML. In some embodiments, the methods described herein can include using an array that can identify differential expression patterns or copy numbers of one or more genes in nucleic acid samples from control and affected individuals. For example, arrays of probes to a marker described herein can be used to identify genetic variations between DNA from an affected subject, and control DNA obtained from an individual that does not have PML. Since the nucleotides on the array can contain sequence tags, their positions on the array can be accurately known relative to the genomic sequence.

In some embodiments, it can be desirable to employ methods that can detect the presence of multiple genetic variations, for example, polymorphic variants at a plurality of polymorphic sites, in parallel or substantially simultaneously. In some embodiments, these methods can comprise oligonucleotide arrays and other methods, including methods in which reactions, for example, amplification and hybridization, can be performed in individual vessels, for example, within individual wells of a multi-well plate or other vessel.

Determining the identity of a genetic variation can also include or consist of reviewing a subject's medical history, where the medical history includes information regarding the identity, copy number, presence or absence of one or more alleles or SNPs in the subject, e.g., results of a genetic test.

In some embodiments extended runs of homozygosity (ROH) may be useful to map recessive disease genes in outbred populations. Furthermore, even in complex disorders, a high number of affected individuals may have the same haplotype in the region surrounding a disease mutation. Therefore, a rare pathogenic variant and surrounding haplotype can be enriched in frequency in a group of affected individuals compared with the haplotype frequency in a cohort of unaffected controls. Homozygous haplotypes (HH) that are shared by multiple affected individuals can be important for the discovery of recessive disease genes in a condition such as PML. In some embodiments, the traditional homozygosity mapping method can be extended by analyzing the haplotype within shared ROH regions to identify homozygous segments of identical haplotype that are present uniquely or at a higher frequency in PML probands compared to parental controls. Such regions are termed risk homozygous haplotypes (rHH), which may contain low-frequency recessive variants that contribute to PML risk in a subset of PML patients.

Genetic variations can also be identified using any of a number of methods well known in the art. For example, genetic variations available in public databases, which can be searched using methods and custom algorithms or algorithms known in the art, can be used. In some embodiments, a reference sequence can be from, for example, the human draft genome sequence, publicly available in various databases, or a sequence deposited in a database such as GenBank.

A comparison of one or more genomes relative to one or more other genomes with array CGH, or a variety of other genetic variation detection methods, can reveal the set of genetic variations between two genomes, between one genome in comparison to multiple genomes, or between one set of genomes in comparison to another set of genomes. In some embodiments, an array CGH experiment can be performed by hybridizing a single test genome against a pooled nucleic acid sample of two or more genomes, which can result in minimizing the detection of higher frequency variants in the experiment. In some embodiments, a test genome can be hybridized alone (i.e., one-color detection) to a microarray, for example, using array CGH or SNP genotyping methods, and the comparison step to one or more reference genomes can be performed in silico to reveal the set of genetic variations in the test genome relative to the one or more reference genomes. In one embodiment, a single test genome is compared to a single reference genome in a 2-color experiment wherein both genomes are cohybridized to the microarray. In some embodiments, the whole genome or whole exome from one or more subjects is analyzed. In some embodiments, nucleic acid information has already been obtained for the whole genome or whole exome from one or more individuals and the nucleic acid information is obtained from in silico analysis.

Any of the polynucleotides described, including polynucleotides comprising a genetic variation, can be made synthetically using methods known in the art.

Methods of Detecting CNVs

Detection of genetic variations, specifically CNVs, can be accomplished by one or more suitable techniques described herein. Generally, techniques that can selectively determine whether a particular chromosomal segment is present or absent in an individual can be used for genotyping CNVs. Identification of novel copy number variations can be done by methods for assessing genomic copy number changes.

In some embodiments, methods include but are not limited to, methods that can quantitatively estimate the number of copies of a particular genomic segment, but can also include methods that indicate whether a particular segment is present in a nucleic acid sample or not. In some embodiments, the technique to be used can quantify the amount of segment present, for example, determining whether a DNA segment is deleted, duplicated, or triplicated in subject, for example, Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) techniques, and other methods described herein. In some embodiments, methods include detection of copy number variation from array intensity and sequencing read depth using a stepwise Bayesian model (Zhang, et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 11:539 (2010)). In some embodiments, methods include detecting copy number variations using shotgun sequencing, CNV-seq (Xie C., et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 10:80 (2009)). In some embodiments, methods include analyzing next-generation sequencing (NGS) data for CNV detection using any one of several algorithms developed for each of the four broad methods for CNV detection using NGS, namely the depth of coverage (DOC), read-pair (RP), split-read (SR) and assembly-based (AS) methods. (Teo et al., Bioinformatics (2012)). In some embodiments, methods include combining coverage with map information for the identification of deletions and duplications in targeted sequence data (Nord et al., BMC Genomics, 12:184 (2011)).

In some embodiments, other genotyping technologies can be used for detection of CNVs, including but not limited to, karyotype analysis, Molecular Inversion Probe array technology, for example, Affymetrix SNP Array 6.0, and BeadArray Technologies, for example, Illumina GoldenGate and Infinium assays, as can other platforms such as NimbleGen HD2.1 or HD4.2, High-Definition Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) arrays (Agilent Technologies), tiling array technology (Affymetrix), multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), Invader assay, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and, in one embodiment, Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) methods. As described herein, karyotype analysis can be a method to determine the content and structure of chromosomes in a nucleic acid sample. In some embodiments, karyotyping can be used, in lieu of aCGH, to detect translocations or inversions, which can be copy number neutral, and, therefore, not detectable by aCGH. Information about amplitude of particular probes, which can be representative of particular alleles, can provide quantitative dosage information for the particular allele, and by consequence, dosage information about the CNV in question, since the marker can be selected as a marker representative of the CNV and can be located within the CNV. In some embodiments, if the CNV is a deletion, the absence of particular marker allele is representative of the deletion. In some embodiments, if the CNV is a duplication or a higher order copy number variation, the signal intensity representative of the allele correlating with the CNV can represent the copy number. A summary of methodologies commonly used is provided in Perkel (Perkel J. Nature Methods 5:447-453 (2008)).

PCR assays can be utilized to detect CNVs and can provide an alternative to array analysis. In particular, PCR assays can enable detection of precise boundaries of gene/chromosome variants, at the molecular level, and which boundaries are identical in different individuals. PCR assays can be based on the amplification of a junction fragment present only in individuals that carry a deletion. This assay can convert the detection of a loss by array CGH to one of a gain by PCR.

Examples of PCR techniques that can be used in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to quantitative PCR, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR), multiplex fluorescent PCR (MF-PCR), real time PCR (RT-PCR), single cell PCR, PCR-RFLP/RT-PCR-RFLP, hot start PCR and Nested PCR. Other suitable amplification methods include the ligase chain reaction (LCR), ligation mediated PCR (LM-PCR), degenerate oligonucleotide probe PCR (DOP-PCR), transcription amplification, self-sustained sequence replication, selective amplification of target polynucleotide sequences, consensus sequence primed polymerase chain reaction (CP-PCR), arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) and nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA).

Alternative methods for the simultaneous interrogation of multiple regions include quantitative multiplex PCR of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF), multiplex amplifiable probe hybridization (MAPH) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), in which copy-number differences for up to 40 regions can be scored in one experiment. Another approach can be to specifically target regions that harbor known segmental duplications, which are often sites of copy-number variation. By targeting the variable nucleotides between two copies of a segmental duplication (called paralogous sequence variants) using a SNP-genotyping method that provides independent fluorescence intensities for the two alleles, it is possible to detect an increase in intensity of one allele compared with the other.

In some embodiments, the amplified piece of DNA can be bound to beads using the sequencing element of the nucleic acid tag under conditions that favor a single amplified piece of DNA molecule to bind a different bead and amplification occurs on each bead. In some embodiments, such amplification can occur by PCR. Each bead can be placed in a separate well, which can be a picoliter-sized well. In some embodiments, each bead is captured within a droplet of a PCR-reaction-mixture-in-oil-emulsion and PCR amplification occurs within each droplet. The amplification on the bead results in each bead carrying at least one million, at least 5 million, or at least 10 million copies of the single amplified piece of DNA molecule.

In embodiments where PCR occurs in oil-emulsion mixtures, the emulsion droplets are broken, the DNA is denatured and the beads carrying single-stranded nucleic acids clones are deposited into a well, such as a picoliter-sized well, for further analysis according to the methods described herein. These amplification methods allow for the analysis of genomic DNA regions. Methods for using bead amplification followed by fiber optics detection are described in Margulies et al., Nature, 15; 437(7057):376-80 (2005), and as well as in US Publication Application Nos. 20020012930; 20030068629; 20030100102; 20030148344; 20040248161; 20050079510, 20050124022; and 20060078909.

Another variation on the array-based approach can be to use the hybridization signal intensities that are obtained from the oligonucleotides employed on Affymetrix SNP arrays or in Illumina Bead Arrays. Here hybridization intensities are compared with average values that are derived from controls, such that deviations from these averages indicate a change in copy number. As well as providing information about copy number, SNP arrays have the added advantage of providing genotype information. For example, they can reveal loss of heterozygosity, which could provide supporting evidence for the presence of a deletion, or might indicate segmental uniparental disomy (which can recapitulate the effects of structural variation in some genomic regions—Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes, for example).

Many of the basic procedures followed in microarray-based genome profiling are similar, if not identical, to those followed in expression profiling and SNP analysis, including the use of specialized microarray equipment and data-analysis tools. Since microarray-based expression profiling has been well established in the last decade, much can be learned from the technical advances made in this area. Examples of the use of microarrays in nucleic acid analysis that can be used are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,300,063, 5,837,832, 6,969,589, 6,040,138, 6,858,412, U.S. application Ser. Nos. 08/529,115, 10/272,384, 10/045,575, 10/264,571 and 10/264,574. It should be noted that there are also distinct differences such as target and probe complexity, stability of DNA over RNA, the presence of repetitive DNA and the need to identify single copy number alterations in genome profiling.

In some embodiments, the genetic variations detected comprise CNVs and can be detected using array CGH. In some embodiments, array CGH can be been implemented using a wide variety of techniques. The initial approaches used arrays produced from large-insert genomic clones such as bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs). Producing sufficient BAC DNA of adequate purity to make arrays is arduous, so several techniques to amplify small amounts of starting material have been employed. These techniques include ligation-mediated PCR (Snijders et al., Nat. Genet. 29:263-64), degenerate primer PCR using one or several sets of primers, and rolling circle amplification. BAC arrays that provide complete genome tiling paths are also available. Arrays made from less complex nucleic acids such as cDNAs, selected PCR products, and oligonucleotides can also be used. Although most CGH procedures employ hybridization with total genomic DNA, it is possible to use reduced complexity representations of the genome produced by PCR techniques. Computational analysis of the genome sequence can be used to design array elements complementary to the sequences contained in the representation. Various SNP genotyping platforms, some of which use reduced complexity genomic representations, can be useful for their ability to determine both DNA copy number and allelic content across the genome. In some embodiments, small amounts of genomic DNA can be amplified with a variety of whole genome or whole exome amplification methods prior to CGH analysis of the nucleic acid sample. A “whole exome,” as used herein, includes exons throughout the whole genome that are expressed in genes. Since exon selection has tissue and cell type specificity, these positions may be different in the various cell types resulting from a splice variant or alternative splicing. A “whole genome,” as used herein, includes the entire genetic code of a genome.

The different basic approaches to array CGH provide different levels of performance, so some are more suitable for particular applications than others. The factors that determine performance include the magnitudes of the copy number changes, their genomic extents, the state and composition of the specimen, how much material is available for analysis, and how the results of the analysis can be used. Many applications use reliable detection of copy number changes of much less than 50%, a more stringent requirement than for other microarray technologies. Note that technical details are extremely important and different implementations of methods using the same array CGH approach can yield different levels of performance. Various CGH methods are known in the art and are equally applicable to one or more methods of the present disclosure. For example, CGH methods are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,030,231; 7,011,949; 7,014,997; 6,977,148; 6,951,761; and 6,916,621, the disclosure from each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

The data provided by array CGH are quantitative measures of DNA sequence dosage. Array CGH provides high-resolution estimates of copy number aberrations, and can be performed efficiently on many nucleic acid samples. The advent of array CGH technology makes it possible to monitor DNA copy number changes on a genomic scale and many projects have been launched for studying the genome in specific diseases.

In some embodiments, whole genome array-based comparative genome hybridization (array CGH) analysis, or array CGH on a subset of genomic regions, can be used to efficiently interrogate human genomes for genomic imbalances at multiple loci within a single assay. The development of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) (Kallioniemi et al., Science 258: 818-21 (1992)) provided the first efficient approach to scanning entire genomes for variations in DNA copy number. The importance of normal copy number variation involving large segments of DNA has been unappreciated. Array CGH is a breakthrough technique in human genetics, which is attracting interest from clinicians working in fields as diverse as cancer and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). The use of CGH microarrays in the clinic holds great promise for identifying regions of genomic imbalance associated with disease. Advances from identifying chromosomal critical regions associated with specific phenotypes to identifying the specific dosage sensitive genes can lead to therapeutic opportunities of benefit to patients. Array CGH is a specific, sensitive and rapid technique that can enable the screening of the whole genome in a single test. It can facilitate and accelerate the screening process in human genetics and is expected to have a profound impact on the screening and counseling of patients with genetic disorders. It is now possible to identify the exact location on the chromosome where an aberration has occurred and it is possible to map these changes directly onto the genomic sequence.

An array CGH approach provides a robust method for carrying out a genome-wide scan to find novel copy number variants (CNVs). The array CGH methods can use labeled fragments from a genome of interest, which can be competitively hybridized with a second differentially labeled genome to arrays that are spotted with cloned DNA fragments, revealing copy-number differences between the two genomes. Genomic clones (for example, BACs), cDNAs, PCR products and oligonucleotides, can all be used as array targets. The use of array CGH with BACs was one of the earliest employed methods and is popular, owing to the extensive coverage of the genome it provides, the availability of reliable mapping data and ready access to clones. The last of these factors is important both for the array experiments themselves, and for confirmatory FISH experiments.

In a typical CGH measurement, total genomic DNA is isolated from control and reference subjects, differentially labeled, and hybridized to a representation of the genome that allows the binding of sequences at different genomic locations to be distinguished. More than two genomes can be compared simultaneously with suitable labels. Hybridization of highly repetitive sequences is typically suppressed by the inclusion of unlabeled Cot-1 DNA in the reaction. In some embodiments of array CGH, it is beneficial to mechanically shear the genomic DNA in a nucleic acid sample, for example, with sonication, prior to its labeling and hybridization step. In another embodiment, array CGH may be performed without use of Cot-1 DNA or a sonication step in the preparation of the genomic DNA in a nucleic acid sample. The relative hybridization intensity of the test and reference signals at a given location can be proportional to the relative copy number of those sequences in the test and reference genomes. If the reference genome is normal then increases and decreases in signal intensity ratios directly indicate DNA copy number variation within the genome of the test cells. Data are typically normalized so that the modal ratio for the genome is set to some standard value, typically 1.0 on a linear scale or 0.0 on a logarithmic scale. Additional measurements such as FISH or flow cytometry can be used to determine the actual copy number associated with a ratio level.

In some embodiments, an array CGH procedure can include the following steps. First, large-insert clones, for example, BACs can be obtained from a supplier of clone libraries. Then, small amounts of clone DNA can be amplified, for example, by degenerate oligonucleotide-primed (DOP) PCR or ligation-mediated PCR in order to obtain sufficient quantities needed for spotting. Next, PCR products can be spotted onto glass slides using, for example, microarray robots equipped with high-precision printing pins. Depending on the number of clones to be spotted and the space available on the microarray slide, clones can either be spotted once per array or in replicate. Repeated spotting of the same clone on an array can increase precision of the measurements if the spot intensities are averaged, and allows for a detailed statistical analysis of the quality of the experiments. Subject and control DNAs can be labeled, for example, with either Cy3 or Cy5-dUTP using random priming and can be subsequently hybridized onto the microarray in a solution containing an excess of Cotl-DNA to block repetitive sequences. Hybridizations can either be performed manually under a coverslip, in a gasket with gentle rocking or, automatically using commercially available hybridization stations. These automated hybridization stations can allow for an active hybridization process, thereby improving the reproducibility as well as reducing the actual hybridization time, which increases throughput. The hybridized DNAs can detected through the two different fluorochromes using standard microarray scanning equipment with either a scanning confocal laser or a charge coupled device (CCD) camera-based reader, followed by spot identification using commercially or freely available software packages.

The use of CGH with arrays that comprise long oligonucleotides (60-100 bp) can improve the detection resolution (in some embodiments, as small as ˜3-5 kb sized CNVs on arrays designed for interrogation of human whole genomes) over that achieved using BACs (limited to 50-100 kb or larger sized CNVs due to the large size of BAC clones). In some embodiments, the resolution of oligonucleotide CGH arrays is achieved via in situ synthesis of 1-2 million unique features/probes per microarray, which can include microarrays available from Roche NimbleGen and Agilent Technologies. In addition to array CGH methods for copy number detection, other embodiments for partial or whole genome analysis of CNVs within a genome include, but are not limited to, use of SNP genotyping microarrays and sequencing methods.

Another method for copy number detection that uses oligonucleotides can be representational oligonucleotide microarray analysis (ROMA). It is similar to that applied in the use of BAC and CGH arrays, but to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, the ‘complexity’ of the input DNA is reduced by a method called representation or whole-genome sampling. Here the DNA that is to be hybridized to the array can be treated by restriction digestion and then ligated to adapters, which results in the PCR-based amplification of fragments in a specific size-range. As a result, the amplified DNA can make up a fraction of the entire genomic sequence—that is, it is a representation of the input DNA that has significantly reduced complexity, which can lead to a reduction in background noise. Other suitable methods available to the skilled person can also be used, and are within scope of the present disclosure.

A comparison of one or more genomes relative to one or more other genomes with array CGH, or a variety of other CNV detection methods, can reveal the set of CNVs between two genomes, between one genome in comparison to multiple genomes, or between one set of genomes in comparison to another set of genomes. In some embodiments, an array CGH experiment can be performed by hybridizing a single test genome against a pooled nucleic acid sample of two or more genomes, which can result in minimizing the detection of higher frequency variants in the experiment. In some embodiments, a test genome can be hybridized alone (i.e. one-color detection) to a microarray, for example, using array CGH or SNP genotyping methods, and the comparison step to one or more reference genomes can be performed in silico to reveal the set of CNVs in the test genome relative to the one or more reference genomes. In one preferred embodiment, a single test genome is compared to a single reference genome in a 2-color experiment wherein both genomes are cohybridized to the microarray.

Array CGH can be used to identify genes that are causative or associated with a particular phenotype, condition, or disease by comparing the set of CNVs found in the affected cohort to the set of CNVs found in an unaffected cohort. An unaffected cohort may consist of any individual unaffected by the phenotype, condition, or disease of interest, but in one preferred embodiment is comprised of individuals or subjects that are apparently healthy (normal). Methods employed for such analyses are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,702,468 and 7,957,913. In some embodiments of CNV comparison methods, candidate genes that are causative or associated (i.e. potentially serving as a biomarker) with a phenotype, condition, or disease will be identified by CNVs that occur in the affected cohort but not in the unaffected cohort. In some embodiments of CNV comparison methods, candidate genes that are causative or associated (i.e. potentially serving as a biomarker) with a phenotype, condition, or disease will be identified by CNVs that occur at a statistically significant higher frequency in the affected cohort as compared their frequency in the unaffected cohort. Thus, CNVs preferentially detected in the affected cohort as compared to the unaffected cohort can serve as beacons of genes that are causative or associated with a particular phenotype, condition, or disease. Methods employed for such analyses are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,862,410. In some embodiments, CNV detection and comparison methods can result in direct identification of the gene that is causative or associated with phenotype, condition, or disease if the CNVs are found to overlap with or encompass the gene(s). In some embodiments, CNV detection and comparison methods can result in identification of regulatory regions of the genome (e.g., promoters, enhancers, transcription factor binding sites) that regulate the expression of one or more genes that are causative or associated with the phenotype, condition, or disease of interest. In some embodiments, CNV detection and comparison methods can result in identification of a region in the genome in linkage disequilibrium with a genetic variant that is causative or associated with the phenotype, condition, or disease of interest. In another embodiment, CNV detection and comparison methods can result in identification of a region in the genome in linkage disequilibrium with a genetic variant that is protective against the condition or disease of interest.

Due to the large amount of genetic variation between any two genomes, or two sets (cohorts) of genomes, being compared, one preferred embodiment is to reduce the genetic variation search space by interrogating only CNVs, as opposed to the full set of genetic variants that can be identified in an individual's genome or exome. The set of CNVs that occur only, or at a statistically higher frequency, in the affected cohort as compared to the unaffected cohort can then be further investigated in targeted sequencing experiments to reveal the full set of genetic variants (of any size or type) that are causative or associated (i.e. potentially serving as a biomarker) with a phenotype, condition, or disease. It can be appreciated to those skilled in the art that the targeted sequencing experiments are performed in both the affected and unaffected cohorts in order to identify the genetic variants (e.g., SNVs and indels) that occur only, or at a statistically significant higher frequency, in the affected individual or cohort as compared to the unaffected cohort. Methods employed for such analyses are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,862,410.

A method of screening a subject for a disease or disorder can comprise assaying a nucleic acid sample from the subject to detect sequence information for more than one genetic locus and comparing the sequence information to a panel of nucleic acid biomarkers and screening the subject for the presence or absence of the disease or disorder if one or more of low frequency biomarkers in the panel are present in the sequence information.

The panel can comprise at least one nucleic acid biomarker for each of the more than one genetic loci. For example, the panel can comprise 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 or more nucleic acid biomarkers for each of the more than one genetic locus. In some embodiments, the panel can comprise from about 2-1000 nucleic acid biomarkers. For example, the panel can comprise from about 2-900, 2-800, 2-700, 2-600, 2-500, 2-400, 2-300, 2-200, 2-100, 25-900, 25-800, 25-700, 25-600, 25-500, 25-400, 25-300, 25-200, 25-100, 100-1000, 100-900, 100-800, 100-700, 100-600, 100-500, 100-400, 100-300, 100-200, 200-1000, 200-900, 200-800, 200-700, 200-600, 200-500, 200-400, 200-300, 300-1000, 300-900, 300-800, 300-700, 300-600, 300-500, 300-400, 400-1000, 400-900, 400-800, 400-700, 400-600, 400-500, 500-1000, 500-900, 500-800, 500-700, 500-600, 600-1000, 600-900, 600-800, 600-700, 700-1000, 700-900, 700-800, 800-1000, 800-900, or 900-1000 nucleic acid biomarkers.

In some embodiments, a biomarker can occur at a frequency of 1% or more in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. For example, a biomarker can occur at a frequency of 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or more in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. In some embodiments, a biomarker can occur at a frequency from about 1%-20% in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. For example, a biomarker can occur at a frequency of from about 1%-5% or 1%-10%, in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder.

The panel can comprise at least 2 low frequency biomarkers. For example, the panel can comprise at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 3, 14, 15, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250, 500, or 1000 or more low frequency biomarkers. In some embodiments, the panel can comprise from about 2-1000 low frequency biomarkers. For example, the panel can comprise from about 2-900, 2-800, 2-700, 2-600, 2-500, 2-400, 2-300, 2-200, 2-100, 25-900, 25-800, 25-700, 25-600, 25-500, 25-400, 25-300, 25-200, 25-100, 100-1000, 100-900, 100-800, 100-700, 100-600, 100-500, 100-400, 100-300, 100-200, 200-1000, 200-900, 200-800, 200-700, 200-600, 200-500, 200-400, 200-300, 300-1000, 300-900, 300-800, 300-700, 300-600, 300-500, 300-400, 400-1000, 400-900, 400-800, 400-700, 400-600, 400-500, 500-1000, 500-900, 500-800, 500-700, 500-600, 600-1000, 600-900, 600-800, 600-700, 700-1000, 700-900, 700-800, 800-1000, 800-900, or 900-1000 low frequency biomarkers.

In some embodiments, a low frequency biomarker can occur at a frequency of 1% or less in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. For example, a low frequency biomarker can occur at a frequency of 0.5%, 0.1%, 0.05%, 0.01%, 0.005%, 0.001%, 0.0005%, or 0.0001% or less in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. In some embodiments, a low frequency biomarker can occur at a frequency from about 0.0001%-0.1% in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. For example, a low frequency biomarker can occur at a frequency of from about 0.0001%-0.0005%, 0.0001%-0.001%, 0.0001%-0.005%, 0.0001%-0.01%, 0.0001%-0.05%, 0.0001%-0.1%, 0.0001%-0.5%, 0.0005%- 0.001%, 0.0005%-0.005%, 0.0005%-0.01%, 0.0005%-0.05%, 0.0005%-0.1%, 0.0005%-0.5%, 0.0005%-1%, 0.001%-0.005%, 0.001%-0.01%, 0.001%-0.05%, 0.001%-0.1%, 0.001%-0.5%, 0.001%-1%, 0.005%-0.01%, 0.005%-0.05%, 0.005%-0.1%, 0.005%-0.5%, 0.005%-1%, 0.01%-0.05%, 0.01%-0.1%, 0.01%-0.5%, 0.01%-1%, 0.05%-0.1%, 0.05%-0.5%, 0.05%-1%, 0.1%-0.5%, 0.1%-1%, or 0.5%- 1% in a population of subjects without a diagnosis of the disease or disorder. In another embodiment, genetic biomarker frequencies can range higher (e.g., 0.5% to 5%) and have utility for diagnostic testing or drug development targeting the genes that harbor such variants. Genetic variants of appreciable frequency and phenotypic effect in the general population are sometimes described as goldilocks variants (e.g., see Cohen J Clin Lipidol. 2013 May-June; 7(3 Suppl):S1-5 and Price et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2010 Jun. 11; 86(6):832-8).

In some embodiments, the presence or absence of the disease or disorder in the subject can be determined with at least 50% confidence. For example, the presence or absence of the disease or disorder in the subject can be determined with at least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, or 100% confidence. In some embodiments, the presence or absence of the disease or disorder in the subject can be determined with a 50%-100% confidence. For example, the presence or absence of the disease or disorder in the subject can be determined with a 60%-100%, 70%-100%, 80%-100%, 90%-100%, 50%-90%, 50%-80%, 50%-70%, 50%-60%, 60%-90%, 60%-80%, 60%-70%, 70%-90%, 70%-80%, or 80%-90%. In one embodiment, PML candidate CNVs and genes or regulatory loci associated with these CNVs can be determined or identified by comparing genetic data from a cohort of normal individuals to that of an individual or a cohort of individuals known to have, or be susceptible to PML.

In one embodiment, PML candidate CNV-subregions and genes associated with these regions can be determined or identified by comparing genetic data from a cohort of normal individuals, such as a pre-existing database of CNVs found in normal individuals termed the Normal Variation Engine (NVE), to that of a cohort of individual known to have, or be susceptible to PML.

In some embodiments, a nucleic acid sample from one individual or nucleic acid samples from a pool of 2 or more individuals without PML can serve as the reference nucleic acid sample(s) and the nucleic acid sample from an individual known to have PML or being tested to determine if they have PML can serve as the test nucleic acid sample. In one preferred embodiment, the reference and test nucleic acid samples are sex-matched and co-hybridized on the CGH array. For example, reference nucleic acid samples can be labeled with a fluorophore such as Cy5, using methods described herein, and test subject nucleic acid samples can be labeled with a different fluorophore, such as Cy3. After labeling, nucleic acid samples can be combined and can be co-hybridized to a microarray and analyzed using any of the methods described herein, such as aCGH. Arrays can then be scanned and the data can be analyzed with software. Genetic alterations, such as CNVs, can be called using any of the methods described herein. A list of the genetic alterations, such as CNVs, can be generated for one or more test subjects and/or for one or more reference subjects. Such lists of CNVs can be used to generate a master list of non-redundant CNVs and/or CNV-subregions for each type of cohort. In one embodiment, a cohort of test nucleic acid samples, such as individuals known to have or suspected to have PML, can be cohybridized with an identical sex-matched reference individual or sex-matched pool of reference individuals to generate a list of redundant or non-redundant CNVs. Such lists can be based on the presence or absence of one or more CNVs and/or CNV subregions present in individuals within the cohort. In this manner, a master list can contain a number of distinct CNVs and/or CNV-subregions, some of which are uniquely present in a single individual and some of which are present in multiple individuals.

In some embodiments, CNVs and/or CNV-subregions of interest can be obtained by annotation of each CNV and/or CNV-subregion with relevant information, such as overlap with known genes and/or exons or intergenic regulatory regions such as transcription factor binding sites. In some embodiments, CNVs and/or CNV-subregions of interest can be obtained by calculating the OR for a CNV and/or CNV-subregion according to the following formula: OR=(PML/((# individuals in PML cohort)−PML))/(NVE/((# individuals in NVE cohort)−NVE)), where: PML=number of PML individuals with a CNV−subregion of interest and NVE=number of NVE subjects with the CNV-subregion of interest. If NVE=0, it can be set to 1 to avoid dealing with infinities in cases where no CNVs are seen in the NVE. In some embodiments, a set of publicly available CNVs (e.g., the Database of Genomic Variants) can be used as the Normal cohort for comparison to the affected cohort CNVs. In another embodiment, the set of Normal cohort CNVs may comprise a private database generated by the same CNV detection method, such as array CGH, or by a plurality of CNV detection methods that include, but are not limited to, array CGH, SNP genotyping arrays, custom CGH arrays, custom genotyping arrays, exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, FISH, q-PCR, or MLPA.

The number of individuals in any given cohort can be at least about 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10,000, 100,000, or more. In some embodiments, the number of individuals in any given cohort can be from 25-900, 25-800, 25-700, 25-600, 25-500, 25-400, 25-300, 25-200, 25-100, 100-1000, 100-900, 100-800, 100-700, 100-600, 100-500, 100-400, 100-300, 100-200, 200-1000, 200-900, 200-800, 200-700, 200-600, 200-500, 200-400, 200-300, 300-1000, 300-900, 300-800, 300-700, 300-600, 300-500, 300-400, 400-1000, 400-900, 400-800, 400-700, 400-600, 400-500, 500-1000, 500-900, 500-800, 500-700, 500-600, 600-1000, 600-900, 600-800, 600-700, 700-1000, 700-900, 700-800, 800-1000, 800-900, or 900-1000.

In some embodiments, a method of determining relevance or statistical significance of a genetic variant in a human subject to a disease or a condition associated with a genotype comprising screening a genome of a human subject with the disease or condition, such as by array Comparative Genomic Hybridization, sequencing, or SNP genotyping, to provide information on one or more genetic variants, such as those in Tables 1 and 2. The method can further comprise comparing, such as via a computer, information of said one or more genetic variants from the genome of said subject to a compilation of data comprising frequencies of genetic variants in at least 100 normal human subjects, such as those without the disease or condition. The method can further comprise determining a statistical significance or relevance of said one or more genetic variants from said comparison to the condition or disease or determining whether a genetic variant is present in said human subject but not present in said compilation of data from said comparison, or an algorithm can be used to call or identify significant genetic variations, such as a genetic variation whose median log 2 ratio is above or below a computed value. A computer can comprise computer executable logic that provides instructions for executing said comparison.

In some embodiments, such as when a subject is identified as having at least one of the genetic variants described herein, an agent targeting the JC Virus can be administered to the subject. In some embodiments, a medication can be administered to a subject that prevents PML from developing, or it can reduce, lessen, shorten and/or otherwise ameliorate the progression of PML, or symptoms that develop. The pharmaceutical composition can modulate or target JC Virus. In some embodiments, a subject identified as having PML can be administered an agent that reduces a viral load in the subject. In some embodiments, an immunosuppressive agent can be administered prior to, or in conjunction with, an agent that reduces a viral load in the subject. In some embodiments, a subject identified as having a risk of developing PML can be administered an agent that prevents an increase in a viral load in the subject. In some embodiments, a subject identified as having a high risk of developing PML can be administered an agent that prevents an increase in a viral load in the subject. In some embodiments, an immunosuppressive agent can be administered prior to, or in conjunction with, an agent that prevents an increase in a viral load in the subject. The agent that reduces a viral load in the subject or that prevents an increase in a viral load in the subject can be, for example, an agent that targets JC Virus. Exemplary agents include antibodies, such as broadly neutralizing JCV antibodies. For example, an agent can be a broadly neutralizing human monoclonal JC polyomavirus VP-1 specific antibody (See, e.g., Jelcic et al., Science Translational Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 306, pp. 306ra150 (2015) and Ray et al., Science Translational Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 306, pp 306ra151 (2015)). Additional exemplary agents include antiretroviral agents, cidofovir, hexadecyloxypropyl-cidofovir (a lipid-ester derivative), cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside), agents that block the 5HT2a receptor (e.g., olanzapine, zisprasidone, mirtazapine, cyproheptadine, and risperidone), topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g., topotecan), and mefloquine.

In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure can be administered to a subject at risk of developing PML, or to a subject reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of PML, even though a screening of the condition cannot have been made. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure can be administered to a subject not identified as having a risk of developing PML, or to a subject not identified as having one or more of the physiological symptoms of PML, even though a screening of the condition cannot have been made.

The present disclosure also includes kits that can be used to treat a condition in animal subjects. These kits comprise one or more immunosuppressive medications and in some embodiments instructions teaching the use of the kit according to the various methods and approaches described herein. Such kits can also include information, such as scientific literature references, package insert materials, clinical trial results, and/or summaries of these and the like, which indicate or establish the activities and/or advantages (or risks and/or disadvantages) of the agent. Such information can be based on the results of various studies, for example, studies using experimental animals involving in vivo models and studies based on human clinical trials. Kits described herein can be provided, marketed and/or promoted to health providers, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, formulary officials, and the like.

In some aspects a host cell can be used for testing or administering therapeutics. In some embodiments, a host cell can comprise a nucleic acid comprising expression control sequences operably-linked to a coding region. The host cell can be natural or non-natural. The non-natural host used in aspects of the method can be any cell capable of expressing a nucleic acid of the disclosure including, bacterial cells, fungal cells, insect cells, mammalian cells and plant cells. In some aspects the natural host is a mammalian tissue cell and the non-natural host is a different mammalian tissue cell. Other aspects of the method include a natural host that is a first cell normally residing in a first mammalian species and the non-natural host is a second cell normally residing in a second mammalian species. In another alternative aspect, the method uses a first cell and the second cell that are from the same tissue type. In those aspects of the method where the coding region encodes a mammalian polypeptide, the mammalian polypeptide may be a hormone. In other aspects the coding region may encode a neuropeptide, an antibody, an antimetabolite, or a polypeptide or nucleotide therapeutic.

Expression control sequences can be those nucleotide sequences, both 5′ and 3′ to a coding region, that are required for the transcription and translation of the coding region in a host organism. Regulatory sequences include a promoter, ribosome binding site, optional inducible elements and sequence elements required for efficient 3′ processing, including polyadenylation. When the structural gene has been isolated from genomic DNA, the regulatory sequences also include those intronic sequences required for splicing of the introns as part of mRNA formation in the target host.

Formulations, Routes of Administration, and Effective Doses

Yet another aspect of the present disclosure relates to formulations, routes of administration and effective doses for pharmaceutical compositions comprising an agent or combination of agents of the instant disclosure. Such pharmaceutical compositions can be used to treat a condition (e.g., multiple sclerosis) as described above.

Compounds of the disclosure can be administered as pharmaceutical formulations including those suitable for oral (including buccal and sub-lingual), rectal, nasal, topical, transdermal patch, pulmonary, vaginal, suppository, or parenteral (including intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intradermal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous) administration or in a form suitable for administration by aerosolization, inhalation or insufflation. General information on drug delivery systems can be found in Ansel et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems (Lippencott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore Md. (1999).

In various embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition includes carriers and excipients (including but not limited to buffers, carbohydrates, mannitol, polypeptides, amino acids, antioxidants, bacteriostats, chelating agents, suspending agents, thickening agents and/or preservatives), water, oils including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like, saline solutions, aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions, flavoring agents, coloring agents, detackifiers and other acceptable additives, adjuvants, or binders, other pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances to approximate physiological conditions, such as pH buffering agents, tonicity adjusting agents, emulsifying agents, wetting agents and the like. Examples of excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical preparation is substantially free of preservatives. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical preparation can contain at least one preservative. General methodology on pharmaceutical dosage forms is found in Ansel et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems (Lippencott, Williams, & Wilkins, Baltimore Md. (1999)). It can be recognized that, while any suitable carrier known to those of ordinary skill in the art can be employed to administer the compositions of this disclosure, the type of carrier can vary depending on the mode of administration.

Compounds can also be encapsulated within liposomes using well-known technology. Biodegradable microspheres can also be employed as carriers for the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure. Suitable biodegradable microspheres are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,897,268, 5,075,109, 5,928,647, 5,811,128, 5,820,883, 5,853,763, 5,814,344 and 5,942,252.

The compound can be administered in liposomes or microspheres (or microparticles). Methods for preparing liposomes and microspheres for administration to a subject are well known to those of skill in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 4,789,734, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference, describes methods for encapsulating biological materials in liposomes. Essentially, the material is dissolved in an aqueous solution, the appropriate phospholipids and lipids added, and along with surfactants if required, and the material dialyzed or sonicated, as necessary. A review of known methods is provided by G. Gregoriadis, Chapter 14, “Liposomes,” Drug Carriers in Biology and Medicine, pp. 2.sup.87-341 (Academic Press, 1979).

Microspheres formed of polymers or polypeptides are well known to those skilled in the art, and can be tailored for passage through the gastrointestinal tract directly into the blood stream. Alternatively, the compound can be incorporated and the microspheres, or composite of microspheres, implanted for slow release over a period of time ranging from days to months. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,906,474, 4,925,673 and 3,625,214, and Jein, TIPS 19:155-157 (1998), the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The concentration of drug can be adjusted, the pH of the solution buffered and the isotonicity adjusted to be compatible with intravenous injection, as is well known in the art.

The compounds of the disclosure can be formulated as a sterile solution or suspension, in suitable vehicles, well known in the art. The pharmaceutical compositions can be sterilized by conventional, well-known sterilization techniques, or can be sterile filtered. The resulting aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile solution prior to administration. Suitable formulations and additional carriers are described in Remington “The Science and Practice of Pharmacy” (20th Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore Md.), the teachings of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.

The agents or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be provided alone or in combination with one or more other agents or with one or more other forms. For example, a formulation can comprise one or more agents in particular proportions, depending on the relative potencies of each agent and the intended indication. For example, in compositions for targeting two different host targets, and where potencies are similar, about a 1:1 ratio of agents can be used. The two forms can be formulated together, in the same dosage unit e.g., in one cream, suppository, tablet, capsule, aerosol spray, or packet of powder to be dissolved in a beverage; or each form can be formulated in a separate unit, e.g., two creams, two suppositories, two tablets, two capsules, a tablet and a liquid for dissolving the tablet, two aerosol sprays, or a packet of powder and a liquid for dissolving the powder, etc.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” means those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the agents used in the present disclosure, and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable.

Typical salts are those of the inorganic ions, such as, for example, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium ions, and the like. Such salts include salts with inorganic or organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p toluenesulfonic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid. In addition, if the agent(s) contain a carboxy group or other acidic group, it can be converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt with inorganic or organic bases. Examples of suitable bases include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexyl-amine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and the like.

A pharmaceutically acceptable ester or amide refers to those which retain biological effectiveness and properties of the agents used in the present disclosure, and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. Typical esters include ethyl, methyl, isobutyl, ethylene glycol, and the like. Typical amides include unsubstituted amides, alkyl amides, dialkyl amides, and the like.

In some embodiments, an agent can be administered in combination with one or more other compounds, forms, and/or agents, e.g., as described above. Pharmaceutical compositions with one or more other active agents can be formulated to comprise certain molar ratios. For example, molar ratios of about 99:1 to about 1:99 of a first active agent to the other active agent can be used. In some subset of the embodiments, the range of molar ratios of a first active agent: other active agents are selected from about 80:20 to about 20:80; about 75:25 to about 25:75, about 70:30 to about 30:70, about 66:33 to about 33:66, about 60:40 to about 40:60; about 50:50; and about 90:10 to about 10:90. The molar ratio of a first active: other active agents can be about 1:9, and in some embodiments can be about 1:1. The two agents, forms and/or compounds can be formulated together, in the same dosage unit e.g., in one cream, suppository, tablet, capsule, or packet of powder to be dissolved in a beverage; or each agent, form, and/or compound can be formulated in separate units, e.g., two creams, suppositories, tablets, two capsules, a tablet and a liquid for dissolving the tablet, an aerosol spray a packet of powder and a liquid for dissolving the powder, etc.

If necessary or desirable, the agents and/or combinations of agents can be administered with still other agents. The choice of agents that can be co-administered with the agents and/or combinations of agents of the instant disclosure can depend, at least in part, on the condition being treated. Agents of particular use in the formulations of the present disclosure include, for example, any agent having a therapeutic effect for a viral infection, including, e.g., drugs used to treat inflammatory conditions. For example, in treatments for influenza, in some embodiments formulations of the instant disclosure can additionally contain one or more conventional anti-inflammatory drugs, such as an NSAID, e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, ketoprofen, or aspirin. In some alternative embodiments for the treatment of influenza formulations of the instant disclosure can additionally contain one or more conventional influenza antiviral agents, such as amantadine, rimantadine, zanamivir, and oseltamivir. In treatments for retroviral infections, such as HIV, formulations of the instant disclosure can additionally contain one or more conventional antiviral drug, such as protease inhibitors (lopinavir/ritonavir {Kaletra}, indinavir {Crixivan}, ritonavir {Norvir}, nelfinavir {Viracept}, saquinavir hard gel capsules {Invirase}, atazanavir {Reyataz}, amprenavir {Agenerase}, fosamprenavir {Telzir}, tipranavir{Aptivus}), reverse transcriptase inhibitors, including non-Nucleoside and Nucleoside/nucleotide inhibitors (AZT {zidovudine, Retrovir}, ddl {didanosine, Videx}, 3TC {lamivudine, Epivir}, d4T {stavudine, Zerit}, abacavir {Ziagen}, FTC {emtricitabine, Emtriva}, tenofovir {Viread}, efavirenz {Sustiva} and nevirapine {Viramune}), fusion inhibitors T20 {enfuvirtide, Fuzeon}, integrase inhibitors (MK-0518 and GS-9137), and maturation inhibitors (PA-457 {Bevirimat}). As another example, formulations can additionally contain one or more supplements, such as vitamin C, E or other anti-oxidants.

The agent(s) (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters or amides thereof) can be administered per se or in the form of a pharmaceutical composition wherein the active agent(s) is in an admixture or mixture with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. A pharmaceutical composition, as used herein, can be any composition prepared for administration to a subject. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present disclosure can be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, comprising excipients, diluents, and/or auxiliaries, e.g., which facilitate processing of the active agents into preparations that can be administered. Proper formulation can depend at least in part upon the route of administration chosen. The agent(s) useful in the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, or amides thereof, can be delivered to a subject using a number of routes or modes of administration, including oral, buccal, topical, rectal, transdermal, transmucosal, subcutaneous, intravenous, and intramuscular applications, as well as by inhalation.

For oral administration, the agents can be formulated readily by combining the active agent(s) with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the agents of the disclosure to be formulated as tablets, including chewable tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, lozenges, hard candy, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, powders, suspensions, elixirs, wafers, and the like, for oral ingestion by a subject to be treated. Such formulations can comprise pharmaceutically acceptable carriers including solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various non-toxic organic solvents. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which can also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier generally is a finely divided solid which is a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component generally is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from about one (1) to about seventy (70) percent of the active compound. Suitable carriers include but are not limited to magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. Generally, the agents of the disclosure can be included at concentration levels ranging from about 0.5%, about 5%, about 10%, about 20%, or about 30% to about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80% or about 90% by weight of the total composition of oral dosage forms, in an amount sufficient to provide a desired unit of dosage.

Aqueous suspensions for oral use can contain agent(s) of this disclosure with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as a suspending agent (e.g., methyl cellulose), a wetting agent (e.g., lecithin, lysolecithin and/or a long-chain fatty alcohol), as well as coloring agents, preservatives, flavoring agents, and the like.

In some embodiments, oils or non-aqueous solvents can be used to bring the agents into solution, due to, for example, the presence of large lipophilic moieties. Alternatively, emulsions, suspensions, or other preparations, for example, liposomal preparations, can be used. With respect to liposomal preparations, any known methods for preparing liposomes for treatment of a condition can be used. See, for example, Bangham et al., J. Mol. Biol. 23: 238-252 (1965) and Szoka et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 75: 4194-4198 (1978), incorporated herein by reference. Ligands can also be attached to the liposomes to direct these compositions to particular sites of action. Agents of this disclosure can also be integrated into foodstuffs, e.g., cream cheese, butter, salad dressing, or ice cream to facilitate solubilization, administration, and/or compliance in certain subject populations.

Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained as a solid excipient, optionally grinding a resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; flavoring elements, cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents can be added, such as the cross linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate. The agents can also be formulated as a sustained release preparation.

Dragee cores can be provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions can be used, which can optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments can be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active agents.

Pharmaceutical preparations that can be used orally include push fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active agents can be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers can be added. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for administration.

Other forms suitable for oral administration include liquid form preparations including emulsions, syrups, elixirs, aqueous solutions, aqueous suspensions, or solid form preparations which are intended to be converted shortly before use to liquid form preparations. Emulsions can be prepared in solutions, for example, in aqueous propylene glycol solutions or can contain emulsifying agents, for example, such as lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia. Aqueous solutions can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizers, and thickening agents. Aqueous suspensions can be prepared by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well known suspending agents. Suitable fillers or carriers with which the compositions can be administered include agar, alcohol, fats, lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, polysaccharides, polyvinylpyrrolidone, silica, sterile saline and the like, or mixtures thereof used in suitable amounts. Solid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, and can contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like.

A syrup or suspension can be made by adding the active compound to a concentrated, aqueous solution of a sugar, e.g., sucrose, to which can also be added any accessory ingredients. Such accessory ingredients can include flavoring, an agent to retard crystallization of the sugar or an agent to increase the solubility of any other ingredient, e.g., as a polyhydric alcohol, for example, glycerol or sorbitol.

When formulating compounds of the disclosure for oral administration, it can be desirable to utilize gastroretentive formulations to enhance absorption from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A formulation which is retained in the stomach for several hours can release compounds of the disclosure slowly and provide a sustained release that can be preferred in some embodiments of the disclosure. Disclosure of such gastro-retentive formulations are found in Klausner E. A., et al., Pharm. Res. 20, 1466-73 (2003); Hoffman, A. et al., Int. J. Pharm. 11, 141-53 (2004), Streubel, A., et al. Expert Opin. Drug Deliver. 3, 217-3, and Chavanpatil, M. D. et al., Int. J. Pharm. (2006). Expandable, floating and bioadhesive techniques can be utilized to maximize absorption of the compounds of the disclosure.

The compounds of the disclosure can be formulated for parenteral administration (e.g., by injection, for example, bolus injection or continuous infusion) and can be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions can take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, for example, solutions in aqueous polyethylene glycol.

For injectable formulations, the vehicle can be chosen from those known in art to be suitable, including aqueous solutions or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. The formulation can also comprise polymer compositions which are biocompatible, biodegradable, such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid. These materials can be made into micro or nanospheres, loaded with drug and further coated or derivatized to provide superior sustained release performance. Vehicles suitable for periocular or intraocular injection include, for example, suspensions of therapeutic agent in injection grade water, liposomes and vehicles suitable for lipophilic substances. Other vehicles for periocular or intraocular injection are well known in the art.

In some embodiments, the composition is formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a pharmaceutical composition adapted for intravenous administration to human beings. Typically, compositions for intravenous administration are solutions in sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the composition can also include a solubilizing agent and a local anesthetic such as lidocaine to ease pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampoule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the composition is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the composition is administered by injection, an ampoule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients can be mixed prior to administration.

When administration is by injection, the active compound can be formulated in aqueous solutions, specifically in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. The solution can contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active compound can be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition does not comprise an adjuvant or any other substance added to enhance the immune response stimulated by the peptide. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a substance that inhibits an immune response to the peptide. Methods of formulation are known in the art, for example, as disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, latest edition, Mack Publishing Co., Easton P.

In addition to the formulations described previously, the agents can also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations can be administered by implantation or transcutaneous delivery (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly), intramuscular injection or use of a transdermal patch. Thus, for example, the agents can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.

In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more agents of the present disclosure exert local and regional effects when administered topically or injected at or near particular sites of infection. Direct topical application, e.g., of a viscous liquid, solution, suspension, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-based solutions, liposomal formulations, gel, jelly, cream, lotion, ointment, suppository, foam, or aerosol spray, can be used for local administration, to produce for example, local and/or regional effects. Pharmaceutically appropriate vehicles for such formulation include, for example, lower aliphatic alcohols, polyglycols (e.g., glycerol or polyethylene glycol), esters of fatty acids, oils, fats, silicones, and the like. Such preparations can also include preservatives (e.g., p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters) and/or antioxidants (e.g., ascorbic acid and tocopherol). See also Dermatological Formulations: Percutaneous absorption, Barry (Ed.), Marcel Dekker Incl, 1983.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure can contain a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable carrier. Such carriers are compatible with skin, nails, mucous membranes, tissues and/or hair, and can include any conventionally used cosmetic or dermatological carrier meeting these requirements. Such carriers can be readily selected by one of ordinary skill in the art. In formulating skin ointments, an agent or combination of agents of the instant disclosure can be formulated in an oleaginous hydrocarbon base, an anhydrous absorption base, a water-in-oil absorption base, an oil-in-water water-removable base and/or a water-soluble base.

Additional lubricants include, for example, a syloid silica gel, a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica, or mixtures thereof. A lubricant can optionally be added, in an amount of less than about 1 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition.

The compositions according to the present disclosure can be in any form suitable for topical application, including aqueous, aqueous-alcoholic or oily solutions, lotion or serum dispersions, aqueous, anhydrous or oily gels, emulsions obtained by dispersion of a fatty phase in an aqueous phase (O/W or oil in water) or, conversely, (W/O or water in oil), microemulsions or alternatively microcapsules, microparticles or lipid vesicle dispersions of ionic and/or nonionic type. These compositions can be prepared according to conventional methods. Other than the agents of the disclosure, the amounts of the various constituents of the compositions according to the disclosure are those conventionally used in the art. These compositions in particular constitute protection, treatment or care creams, milks, lotions, gels or foams for the face, for the hands, for the body and/or for the mucous membranes, or for cleansing the skin. The compositions can also consist of solid preparations constituting soaps or cleansing bars.

Compositions of the present disclosure can also contain adjuvants common to the cosmetic and dermatological fields, such as hydrophilic or lipophilic gelling agents, hydrophilic or lipophilic active agents, preserving agents, antioxidants, solvents, fragrances, fillers, sunscreens, odor-absorbers and dyestuffs. The amounts of these various adjuvants are those conventionally used in the fields considered and, for example, are from about 0.01% to about 20% of the total weight of the composition. Depending on their nature, these adjuvants can be introduced into the fatty phase, into the aqueous phase and/or into the lipid vesicles.

In some embodiments, ocular viral infections can be effectively treated with ophthalmic solutions, suspensions, ointments or inserts comprising an agent or combination of agents of the present disclosure. Eye drops can be prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in a sterile aqueous solution such as physiological saline, buffering solution, etc., or by combining powder compositions to be dissolved before use.

The solubility of the components of the present compositions can be enhanced by a surfactant or other appropriate co-solvent in the composition. Such cosolvents include polysorbate 20, 60, and 80, Pluronic F68, F-84 and P-103, cyclodextrin, or other agents known to those skilled in the art. Such co-solvents can be employed at a level of from about 0.01% to 2% by weight.

The compositions of the disclosure can be packaged in multidose form. Preservatives can be preferred to prevent microbial contamination during use. Suitable preservatives include: benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal, chlorobutanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, phenylethyl alcohol, edetate disodium, sorbic acid, Onamer M, or other agents known to those skilled in the art. In the prior art ophthalmic products, such preservatives can be employed at a level of from 0.004% to 0.02%. In the compositions of the present application the preservative, preferably benzalkonium chloride, can be employed at a level of from 0.001% to less than 0.01%, e.g., from 0.001% to 0.008%, preferably about 0.005% by weight. It has been found that a concentration of benzalkonium chloride of 0.005% can be sufficient to preserve the compositions of the present disclosure from microbial attack.

In some embodiments, the agents of the present disclosure are delivered in soluble rather than suspension form, which allows for more rapid and quantitative absorption to the sites of action. In general, formulations such as jellies, creams, lotions, suppositories and ointments can provide an area with more extended exposure to the agents of the present disclosure, while formulations in solution, e.g., sprays, provide more immediate, short-term exposure.

In some embodiments relating to topical/local application, the pharmaceutical compositions can include one or more penetration enhancers. For example, the formulations can comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients that increase penetration or help delivery of agents or combinations of agents of the disclosure across a permeability barrier, e.g., the skin. Many of these penetration-enhancing compounds are known in the art of topical formulation, and include, e.g., water, alcohols (e.g., terpenes like methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol), sulfoxides (e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide, decylmethyl sulfoxide, tetradecylmethyl sulfoxide), pyrrolidones (e.g., 2-pyrrolidone, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidone), laurocapram, acetone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, L-α-amino acids, anionic, cationic, amphoteric or nonionic surfactants (e.g., isopropyl myristate and sodium lauryl sulfate), fatty acids, fatty alcohols (e.g., oleic acid), amines, amides, clofibric acid amides, hexamethylene lauramide, proteolytic enzymes, α-bisabolol, d-limonene, urea and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide, and the like.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can be orally- or rectally delivered solutions, suspensions, ointments, enemas and/or suppositories comprising an agent or combination of agents of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can be aerosol solutions, suspensions or dry powders comprising an agent or combination of agents of the present disclosure. The aerosol can be administered through the respiratory system or nasal passages. For example, one skilled in the art can recognize that a composition of the present disclosure can be suspended or dissolved in an appropriate carrier, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable propellant, and administered directly into the lungs using a nasal spray or inhalant. For example, an aerosol formulation comprising an agent can be dissolved, suspended or emulsified in a propellant or a mixture of solvent and propellant, e.g., for administration as a nasal spray or inhalant Aerosol formulations can contain any acceptable propellant under pressure, such as a cosmetically or dermatologically or pharmaceutically acceptable propellant, as conventionally used in the art.

An aerosol formulation for nasal administration is generally an aqueous solution designed to be administered to the nasal passages in drops or sprays. Nasal solutions can be similar to nasal secretions in that they are generally isotonic and slightly buffered to maintain a pH of about 5.5 to about 6.5, although pH values outside of this range can additionally be used. Antimicrobial agents or preservatives can also be included in the formulation.

An aerosol formulation for inhalations and inhalants can be designed so that the agent or combination of agents of the present disclosure is carried into the respiratory tree of the subject when administered by the nasal or oral respiratory route. Inhalation solutions can be administered, for example, by a nebulizer. Inhalations or insufflations, comprising finely powdered or liquid drugs, can be delivered to the respiratory system as a pharmaceutical aerosol of a solution or suspension of the agent or combination of agents in a propellant, e.g., to aid in disbursement. Propellants can be liquefied gases, including halocarbons, for example, fluorocarbons such as fluorinated chlorinated hydrocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and hydrochlorocarbons, as well as hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon ethers.

Halocarbon propellants useful in the present disclosure include fluorocarbon propellants in which all hydrogens are replaced with fluorine, chlorofluorocarbon propellants in which all hydrogens are replaced with chlorine and at least one fluorine, hydrogen-containing fluorocarbon propellants, and hydrogen-containing chlorofluorocarbon propellants. Halocarbon propellants are described in Johnson, U.S. Pat. No. 5,376,359; Byron et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,029; and Purewal et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,776,434. Hydrocarbon propellants useful in the disclosure include, for example, propane, isobutane, n-butane, pentane, isopentane and neopentane. A blend of hydrocarbons can also be used as a propellant. Ether propellants include, for example, dimethyl ether as well as the ethers. An aerosol formulation of the disclosure can also comprise more than one propellant. For example, the aerosol formulation can comprise more than one propellant from the same class, such as two or more fluorocarbons; or more than one, more than two, more than three propellants from different classes, such as a fluorohydrocarbon and a hydrocarbon. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure can also be dispensed with a compressed gas, e.g., an inert gas such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide or nitrogen.

Aerosol formulations can also include other components, for example, ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, as well as surfactants or other components such as oils and detergents. These components can serve to stabilize the formulation and/or lubricate valve components.

The aerosol formulation can be packaged under pressure and can be formulated as an aerosol using solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders and semisolid preparations. For example, a solution aerosol formulation can comprise a solution of an agent of the disclosure in (substantially) pure propellant or as a mixture of propellant and solvent. The solvent can be used to dissolve the agent and/or retard the evaporation of the propellant. Solvents useful in the disclosure include, for example, water, ethanol and glycols. Any combination of suitable solvents can be use, optionally combined with preservatives, antioxidants, and/or other aerosol components.

An aerosol formulation can also be a dispersion or suspension. A suspension aerosol formulation can comprise a suspension of an agent or combination of agents of the instant disclosure. Dispersing agents useful in the disclosure include, for example, sorbitan trioleate, oleyl alcohol, oleic acid, lecithin and corn oil. A suspension aerosol formulation can also include lubricants, preservatives, antioxidant, and/or other aerosol components.

An aerosol formulation can similarly be formulated as an emulsion. An emulsion aerosol formulation can include, for example, an alcohol such as ethanol, a surfactant, water and a propellant, as well as an agent or combination of agents of the disclosure. The surfactant used can be nonionic, anionic or cationic. One example of an emulsion aerosol formulation comprises, for example, ethanol, surfactant, water and propellant. Another example of an emulsion aerosol formulation comprises, for example, vegetable oil, glyceryl monostearate and propane.

The compounds of the disclosure can be formulated for administration as suppositories. A low melting wax, such as a mixture of triglycerides, fatty acid glycerides, Witepsol S55 (trademark of Dynamite Nobel Chemical, Germany), or cocoa butter is first melted and the active component is dispersed homogeneously, for example, by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and to solidify.

The compounds of the disclosure can be formulated for vaginal administration. Pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

It is envisioned additionally, that the compounds of the disclosure can be attached releasably to biocompatible polymers for use in sustained release formulations on, in or attached to inserts for topical, intraocular, periocular, or systemic administration. The controlled release from a biocompatible polymer can be utilized with a water soluble polymer to form an instillable formulation, as well. The controlled release from a biocompatible polymer, such as for example, PLGA microspheres or nanospheres, can be utilized in a formulation suitable for intra ocular implantation or injection for sustained release administration, as well any suitable biodegradable and biocompatible polymer can be used.

In one aspect of the disclosure, the subject's carrier status of any of the genetic variation risk variants described herein, or genetic variants identified via other analysis methods within the genes or regulatory loci that are identified by the CNVs or SNVs described herein, can be used to help determine whether a particular treatment modality, such as any one of the above, or a combination thereof, should be administered. Whether a treatment option such as any of the above mentioned treatment options is administered can be determined based on the presence or absence of a particular genetic variation risk variant in the individual, or by monitoring expression of genes that are associated with the variants of the present disclosure. Expression levels and/or mRNA levels can thus be determined before and during treatment to monitor its effectiveness. Alternatively, or concomitantly, the status with respect to a genetic variation, and or genotype and/or haplotype status of at least one risk variant for PML presented herein can be determined before and during treatment to monitor its effectiveness. It can also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that aberrant expression levels of a gene impacted by a CNV or other mutations found as a consequence of targeted sequencing of the CNV-identified gene can be assayed or diagnostically tested for by measuring the polypeptide expression level of said aberrantly expressed gene. In another embodiment, aberrant expression levels of a gene may result from a CNV impacting a DNA sequence (e.g., transcription factor binding site) that regulates a gene whose aberrant expression level is involved in or causes PML, or other mutations found as a consequence of targeted sequencing of the CNV-identified gene regulatory sequence, can be assayed or diagnostically tested for by measuring the polypeptide expression level of the gene involved in or causative of PML. In some embodiments, a specific CNV mutation within a gene, or other specific mutations found upon targeted sequencing of a CNV-identified gene found to be involved in or causative of PML, may cause an aberrant structural change in the expressed polypeptide that results from said gene mutations and the altered polypeptide structure(s) can be assayed via various methods know to those skilled in the art.

Alternatively, biological networks or metabolic pathways related to the genes within, or associated with, the genetic variations described herein can be monitored by determining mRNA and/or polypeptide levels. This can be done for example, by monitoring expression levels of polypeptides for several genes belonging to the network and/or pathway in nucleic acid samples taken before and during treatment. Alternatively, metabolites belonging to the biological network or metabolic pathway can be determined before and during treatment. Effectiveness of the treatment is determined by comparing observed changes in expression levels/metabolite levels during treatment to corresponding data from healthy subjects.

In some embodiments, the genetic variations described herein and/or those subsequently found (e.g., via other genetic analysis methods such as sequencing) via targeted analysis of those genes initially identified by the genetic variations described herein, can be used to prevent adverse effects associated with a therapeutic agent, such as during clinical trials. For example, individuals who are carriers of at least one at-risk genetic variation can be more likely to respond negatively to a therapeutic agent, such as an immunosuppressive agent. For example, carriers of certain genetic variants may be more likely to show an adverse response to the therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, one or more of the genetic variations employed during clinical trials for a given therapeutic agent can be used in a companion diagnostic test that is administered to the patient prior to administration of the therapeutic agent to determine if the patient is likely to have a favorable or an adverse response to the therapeutic agent.

The genetic variations described herein can be used for determining whether a subject is administered a pharmaceutical agent, such as an immunosuppressive drug. Certain combinations of variants, including those described herein, but also combinations with other risk variants for PML, can be suitable for one selection of treatment options, while other variant combinations can be suitable for selection of other treatment options. Such combinations of variants can include one variant, two variants, three variants, or four or more variants, as needed to determine with clinically reliable accuracy the selection of treatment module. In another embodiment, information from testing for the genetic variations described herein, or other rare genetic variations in or near the genes described herein, may be combined with information from other types of testing (e.g., a JCV antibody test, CD62L test, or CSF IgM oligoclonal bands test) for selection of treatment options.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Experimental Approach

In the present study, a set of genes were identified, deleterious variants within which increase susceptibility to PML. The relevant genes were discovered on the basis of a combined CNV plus sequence analysis approach. Two sets of genes were compiled (see Table 6 and corresponding description):

-   -   A. A set based on a detailed literature review of genes involved         in the immune system and JC virus biology, along with genes         described in the context of PML via case reports.     -   B. A set based on the observation of rare CNVs within the PML         cohort.

A non-redundant list of 419 genes was generated (see Table 6), which contains 245 curated from immune deficiency (immunodeficiency) reviews (Table 6, ‘Public_db’), 169 identified via rare CNVs using the methods described herein (Table 6, ‘PBio’), and 6 genes that were found using both methods (Table 6, ‘Both’). See Table 6 and description below for further information).

Using this set of 419 genes, it was determined whether:

-   -   Rare CNVs were present that might explain the susceptibility to         PML;     -   Rare sequence variants (determined via whole exome sequencing         analysis—WES) were present that might explain the susceptibility         to PML;     -   Combinations of CNVs, SNVs and/or CNVs and SNVs might explain         the susceptibility;     -   Individual variants might be present at higher frequency in the         PML cohort (variant burden analysis—Tables 14, 15);     -   Total numbers of heterozygous, damaging variants were high for         any specific genes (gene burden analysis—Table 13).

In all cases, due consideration was given to:

-   -   Pathogenic/deleterious nature of the variants observed (e.g.,         whether gene function was highly likely to be affected);     -   Rarity of the variants or variant combinations (e.g., those that         would be expected to be present in 1% or less of the normal         population were considered);     -   Ethnicity of the PML cases to account for potential frequency         differences in one population subgroup vs. another. Ethnicities         (e.g., ancestry) for the PML patients are reported in Table 7.         For Sample_ID identifiers beginning with ‘MVGS’, ethnicities         were not reported but all patients were from the USA and their         ethnicities were assumed to be of European (EUR) ancestry.         However, PML case MVGS811-13a is potentially of African (AFR)         ancestry on the basis of common SNVs that are also found in PML         cases known to be of AFR ancestry. In one embodiment,         ethnic-specific frequency data from the ExAC database was used         to assess relative frequencies of variants found in PML patients         vs. an unselected population (ExAC subjects). ExAC ethnicities         were designated as follows: African/African American (AFR),         Latino (LAT, also known as AMR), East Asian (EAS), Finnish         (FIN), Non-Finnish European (EUR, also known as NFE), South         Asian (SAS), and Other (OTH). For some PML cases reported in         Table 7, the ethnicities were alternately reported as         Subsaharan, North African (MGB), Caribbean (CAR), or Hispanic         (HISP). For interpretation of variants found in these patients,         the assignments of ancestry using ExAC db designations were as         follows: AFR=MGB or Subsaharan; LAT=CAR or HISP. Ancestry was         unknown for two PML cases (PML02 and PML28) and, for frequency         interpretation purposes (using ExAC db), they were assumed to be         of European (EUR) ancestry.

While the primary genetic mechanism that was considered was autosomal recessive (AR) inheritance, a number of solutions were based on autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance but only in cases for which prior evidence was found that heterozygous variants in the relevant gene had previously been associated with an immune deficiency syndrome. It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that some genes may contain both AR and AD model pathogenic variants (e.g., see Table 6 entries marked as ‘AD_AR’ in the ‘Disease_(—) Model’ column).

For AR inheritance (˜40% of genes in Table 6 fall into this category, AR or AD_AR), the following were considered:

-   -   Homozygous or compound heterozygous gene-disruptive CNVs;     -   Homozygous or compound heterozygous sequence variants; i.e.         single nucleotide variants (SNVs). Compound heterozygosity was         only inferred when either phasing was available or one of the         pairs of SNVs was itself homozygous;     -   Compound heterozygosity for a CNV and SNV. Such calls were only         possible in cases for which the SNV was in trans to a deletion         (e.g., DUSP16 SNV in Table 10 and the CNV in Table 1).

Example 2 Copy Number Variant (CNV) Analysis

The data presented herein was generated on the basis of a comparison of copy number variants (CNVs) identified in 2 cohorts:

-   -   1) 1,005 Normal individuals (Normal Variation Engine—NVE);     -   2) 71 Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) cases         along with 6 Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) cases without a         diagnosis of PML (in order to aid in distinguishing germline         variants vs. acquired variants that result from HIV infection).         Total cohort size=77.         Genomic DNA sample hybridization—NVE and PML, HIV Cohorts

Genomic DNA samples from individuals within the Normal cohort (NVE ‘test’ subjects, also referred to as ‘NVE cases’ in some tables herein) and from the PML, HIV cohort (PML, HIV ‘test’ subjects) were hybridized against a single, sex-matched reference individual. Reference DNA samples were labeled with Cy5 and test subject DNA samples were labeled with Cy3. After labeling, samples were combined and co-hybridized to Agilent 1M feature oligonucleotide microarrays, design ID 021529 (Agilent Product Number G4447A) using standard conditions (array Comparative Genomic Hybridization—aCGH). Post-hybridization, arrays were scanned at 2 μm resolution, using Agilent's DNA microarray scanner, generating tiff images for later analysis.

All tiff images were analyzed using Agilent Feature Extraction (FE) software, with the following settings:

-   -   Human Genome Freeze:hg18:NCBI36:Mar2006     -   FE version: 10.7.3.1     -   Grid/design file: 021529_D_F_20091001     -   Protocol: CGH_107_Sep09

This procedure generates a variety of output files, one of which is a text-tab delimited file, containing ˜1,000,000 rows of data, each corresponding to a specific feature on the array. This *.txt file was used to perform CNV calling using DNAcopy, an open source software package implemented in R via BioConductor (http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/DNAcopy.html). Heterozygous losses (het_loss), homozygous losses (hom_loss) or gains were determined according to a threshold log 2ratio, which was set at:

-   -   hom_loss min=−1000;     -   hom_loss max=−2;     -   het_loss min=−2;     -   het_loss max=−0.5;     -   gain min=0.5;     -   gain max=1000;

With very few exceptions, all CNVs with a log 2ratio value between −0.5 and +0.5 were not considered. All log 2ratio values were determined according to Cy3/Cy5 (Test/Reference). A minimum probe threshold for CNV-calling was set at 2 (2 consecutive probes were sufficient to call a CNV). A CNV list was generated for each individual in the 3 cohorts (NVE, PML, and HIV).

Using custom scripts, CNVs identified in the NVE and PML cohorts (many of which appeared in multiple individuals) were (separately) ‘merged’ into master lists of non-redundant CNV-subregions, according to the presence or absence of the CNV-subregion in individuals within the cohort. Using this approach, the NVE-master lists have:

7778 het_loss 653 hom_loss 4862 gain distinct CNV-subregions, respectively. The PML+HIV cohort of 77 individuals master lists contained:

2523 het_loss 314 hom_loss 1639 gain distinct CNV-subregions, respectively.

Those skilled in the art can appreciate that CNVs can be acquired in an individual's genome that are not inherited. Such ‘acquired CNVs’ often occur in a tissue specific manner, such as in solid tumors compared to a patient's normal tissue. In blood-derived genomic DNA samples, which are what was used for both the NVE and PML subjects in the studies described herein, acquired CNVs can be the result of blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, but also due to HIV infection. Many of the PML cases in this study had HIV as their primary disease (see Table 7). In order to aid in the interpretation of acquired vs. germline CNVs, an HIV sub-cohort of 6 cases was included in the primary, genome-wide CNV comparison but rare CNVs in the 6 HIV (non-PML) cases were not considered as relevant to PML susceptibility. The purpose of generating data on the 6 HIV cases was to determine whether some changes seen in PML patients who developed the disorder on a background of HIV (PML/HIV) were likely related to the underlying HIV and not the PML susceptibility itself. In other words, the HIV cases served as a general control for the large number of PML/HIV cases.

For example, consider 3 individuals within the NVE cohort with the following hypothetical CNVs:

Chr1:1-100,000; Chr1:10,001-100,000; and Chr1:1-89,999. In the master list, these would be merged into 3 distinct CNV subregions, as follows:

CNV-subregion 1 Chr1: 1-10,000 Subjects A, C CNV-subregion 2 Chr1: 10,001-89,999 Subjects A, B, C CNV-subregion 3 Chr90,000: 1-100,000 Subjects A, B Comparison of the corresponding NVE and PML master lists of CNV-subregions was performed (het_loss versus het_loss, hom_loss versus hom_loss and gain versus gain), resulting in a combined file with totals for NVE and PML for each distinct CNV-subregion in the study.

The data are subsequently curated as follows (The example calculation below was based on an original PML cohort of 80 cases, of which 6 are non-PML HIV controls and 3 PML cases that were duplicate samples. In some instances, the OR and FET values reported in Table 2 were used as ‘relative’ guidelines when considering the relevance of a CNV. In nearly all instances, a CNV was considered as a potential cause or contributing factor to PML if it was absent from the NVE database of CNVs).

-   -   Annotation using custom designed scripts in order to attach         relevant information to each CNV region regarding overlap with         known genes and exons, overlap with genes involved in the immune         system and overlap with regulatory regions, including         transcription factor binding sites.     -   A calculation of the odds ratio (OR) and Fishers Exact test         (FET) for each CNV-subregion, according to the following         formula:         OR=(PML/(77−PML))/(NVE/(1005−NVE))         -   where:         -   PML=number of PML individuals with CNV-subregion of interest         -   NVE=number of NVE individuals with CNV-subregion of interest

As an illustrative example, consider the CNV subregion gain involving chr2:55764753-55771586, which is found in 3 individuals in the PML cohort and 1 individual in the NVE cohort (see Table 2). The OR is: (3/74)/(1/1004)=40.7

Note that, by one convention, if either of NVE or PML=0, a value of 0.5 is added to all 4 entries in the main formula above, in order to avoid dealing with infinities (see Deeks and Higgins, Statistical algorithms in Review Manager 5, Statistical Methods Group of The Cochrane Collaboration, (2010)). This has the effect of artificially lowering OR values in cases where no individuals within the NVE have the CNV. This method is applicable to all the calculations in Table 2. This method is also used when calculating the Fisher's 2-tailed Exact Test (FET) in the event that any one of the variables is zero. For convenience in analysis, the sub-cohort of 6 HIV (non-PML) cases were retained in Table 2. Therefore, the OR values reported in Table 2 are slightly different from the OR calculations for the actual number of PML cases (n=71). Using the example above for a CNV-subregion gain involving chr2:55764753-55771586, the actual OR using 71 PML cases vs. 1005 NVE subjects was: (3/68)41/(1004)=44.29. In some instances, a non-PML HIV control (see Table 11, identified as 3280, 3281, 3283, 3284, 3285, and 3286) is found to have a CNV of potential relevance in PML subjects. This can also impact the OR calculation. For example, for CNV-subregion loss chr19:55247874-55250186 the OR in Table 2 is listed as 17.38 but one case is a non-PML HIV control (Table 11, PML70_control=3280). For this example, the actual OR using 71 PML cases vs. 1005 NVE subjects, and excluding the non-PML HIV case, was: (4/67)/(4/(1001)=14.94.

The CNV-subregions/genes that are listed herein (e.g., in one or more of Tables 1-4), fulfill one of the following criteria:

-   -   Strong biology linking the gene that a CNV-subregion impacts or         is near, with known immune deficiency pathways/mechanisms or         biology in PML (e.g., JC virus related biology). That is, in         some cases, statistical evidence is lacking but does not exclude         the CNV-subregion as a candidate;     -   Statistical analysis combined with medium to strong biology         (e.g., links in the peer-reviewed literature to PML, JC virus,         host defense, immune deficiency, or neuropathology) without         obvious biological connection (best FET in this category was         3.25E-10);

It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the number of PML candidate CNV-subregions, irrespective of category, may increase or decrease as additional PML cohorts are analyzed.

Example 3 Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and Case Level Analysis

WES data was obtained on a total of 70 PML cases (non-PML HIV cases were not sequenced—they were used simply to help in the interpretation of complex CNVs observed in PML patients who also had HIV).

Variant annotation reports were further interrogated against the full set of genes detailed above. Synonymous variants and variants predicted to be modifiers (outside coding regions) were not considered. For all other variants, further filtering was performed so that only those predicted by at least one in silico prediction algorithm (e.g., Polyphen2, SIFT, MutationTaster) to be pathogenic were considered for further evaluation. Finally, only variants or variant combinations that would be expected to be present in 1% or less of the normal population were evaluated for case level analysis (Tables 7-10). Data from the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) was used to obtain ethnic-specific frequency data for variants under consideration (see, Lek et al., Nature, 17; 536(7616):285-91) (2016)).

Example 5

Those skilled in the art can appreciate that genes can be impacted by acquired or germline genetic variants (e.g., CNVs), wherein each gene has the potential to contain genetic variants that are acquired (e.g., via a disease process such as HIV infection, or cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma) or present in the germ line (e.g., inherited from a parent or are de novo, i.e. not inherited from a parent). In FIG. 1, the PRKCB gene was impacted by germ line variants in 2 PML cases and acquired variants in 6 PML cases. The invention described herein is focused on detection of germline variants that are present in PML patient genomes. Therefore, no solutions/explanations for a given patient's PML was based on an acquired CNV, although another PML patient could potentially be ‘solved’ by one or two germline rare variants impacting the gene.

For this PRKCB example, no CNV-based solutions were found (an AR model was assumed), but 1 SNV solution is reported in Table 8 (het SNV, an AD model is assumed for this PML case). Further supporting evidence was assessed for the PRKCB gene by performing String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors; string-db.org; see Szklarczyk et al., (2015), and references therein). String analysis showed that PRKCB interacts with PML-419 genes CARD11, IKBKB, and RBCK1 (see Table 6).

In FIG. 2, both TNFRSF13C and CENPM are disrupted and/or gained by a set of acquired CNV gains. Acquired CNVs can be very complex, such as the high copy number gains often identified in tumor-derived DNA samples (as compared to the patient's normal genome). In the PML gene discovery described herein, blood-derived genomic DNA obtained from several PML-diagnosed HIV patients, or PML cases with a primary disease of leukemia and lymphoma (reported as ‘Other’ in Table 7), showed complex genomic changes (e.g., gains exhibiting a dup-trip-dup pattern). In some PML cases, the acquired gains passed the log 2 ratio cutoff (>0.5) that was selected for this study, but in other PML cases the log 2 ratios for the gains were <0.5 and this data was filtered out from the main analyses that were performed to ascertain rare germline CNVs.

In one embodiment of the invention, a set of 6 non-PML HIV cases (3 African ancestry, 3 European ancestry) were used to aid in the interpretation of whether a CNV was an acquired or germline event. The non-PML ‘PML cases’ are labeled with ‘_control’ in Table 11 and correspond to ‘PML_Case_ID’ numbers 3280, 3281, 3283, 3284, 3285, and 3286. While some CNVs are reported in Tables 1 and 2 for this set of non-PML control HIV subjects, none of these genetic findings were used to nominate a gene discovered on the basis of rare CNVs (as compared to the NVE db) as a potential PML gene (PBio genes reported in Table 6). In other words, these rare CNVs were only used to aid in determining if a particular genomic region containing multiple overlapping CNVs was potentially due to an acquired genetic event. Those skilled in the art can appreciate that the set of experiments described herein do not necessarily fully rule in or out that a given genomic region contained only acquired CNVs vs. only germline CNVs (i.e. it's possible that the same region can contain an acquired CNV in one individual and a germline CNV in another).

For the CNV data shown in FIG. 2, both the TNFRSF13C and CENPM genes were included in PML-419 gene list (Table 6) on the basis of their immune or neurological related biology reported in the literature. No CNV or SNV PML solutions were found for these two genes, but String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) shows that TNFRSF13C interacts with PML-419 genes TRAF3 (Table 7 solution) and TNFRSF13B (Table 8 solution), as well as BTK (a known PML gene, see Table 6).

FIG. 3 shows another example of a gene that is impacted by both germline and acquired CNVs. While no PML cases were solved on the basis of the acquired or germline CNVs shown to impact the PKHD1 gene, nomination of this gene to Table 6 on the basis of its biology resulted in finding 3 potential alternate solutions (AR model) for 3 other PML cases (see Table 8). However, String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions with PKHD1.

Example 6

Those skilled in the art can appreciate that an AR disease model would involve ascertaining whether both alleles (for a gene or genetic locus) are impacted by a genetic variant in individuals affected by the disorder. The types of genetic variants can be SNVs, CNVs, indels, etc. In the study describe herein, if an AR disease model was invoked for a gene (see Table 6), we assessed the PML patient's CGH data for CNVs (heterozygous or homozygous) and their exome data for SNVs (heterozygous or homozygous). Thus, each patient may be solved for one of the PML-419 genes (Table 6) with one of the following scenarios: homozygous deletion, homozygous duplication (log 2 ratio will appear comparable to that typically found for triplications), homozygous SNV, compound heterozygous SNVs, compound heterozygous CNVs, or compound heterozygous SNV and CNV. Those skilled in the art know that, for an AR disease mechanism, a pathogenic SNV or CNV may have appreciable frequency in the general population (e.g., up to 1% frequency) with little to no impact on the individual's health, but when present with a second pathogenic variant on the other allele, can cause disease.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a recurrent intronic loss impacting the BMPR2 gene. Patient PML29 was found to have a homozygous deletion, whereas as patients PML58 and MVGS811-13a have a heterozygous deletion. Assuming an AR disease model, no SNV solutions were found for this gene; however, PML29 is potentially solved due to the homozygous deletion that was detected. While immune-related biology is reported for studies on BMPR2 (see Table 6), String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions with BMPR2.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a recurrent exonic gain that disrupts the COMMD6 gene. Two PML patients were found to have homozygous duplications of this CNV. Interestingly, while String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions with COMMD6, recent studies (see Table 6, PMIDs 25355947 and 27441653) show a potential link between COMMD6 and known PML gene WAS via the WASH gene.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a recurrent exonic gain that disrupts the KCTD7 gene and its right breakpoint is upstream of RABGEF1 (i.e. one or both genes may be causing/contributing to PML). A recently annotated non-coding RNA (see hg19 assembly, LOC100996437) may also be impacted by this CNV. Both genes have immune and neurological links (see Table 6) and since patient PML29 has a homozygous duplication, it was added as a PML solution in Table 7. String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions for either gene, but they are linked together in a joint String analysis.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a recurrent gain that disrupts FPR2 (left breakpoint) and ZNF616 (right breakpoint, gene not labeled), and other genes are fully encompassed by this CNV. There is strong supporting biology for FPR2 (see Table 6) and it is listed as a PML solution in Table 7. String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions for FPR2, but a joint analysis of Table 7 genes did reveal an interaction (see FIG. 13).

FIG. 8 shows an example of an exonic loss impacting the PIK3CD and PIK3CD-AS1 genes. Patient MVGS811-13a has a homozygous deletion and is reported as a solution in Table 7 based on the strong immune-related biology for PIK3CD (see Table 6). String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) reveals PML-419 gene interactions for PTEN and PIK3R1.

Example 7

A subset of the rare CNVs found in our PML study were located in intergenic regions. While those skilled in the art can appreciate that intergenic variants (CNVs, SNVs, etc.) can have long range effects on the expression of genes (e.g., gene regulatory elements can be located several kilobases away from the genes under their influence), in our study we assumed that intergenic CNVs were potentially impacting one or both adjacent genes if they were located <˜100 Kb away, either upstream or downstream. The ENCODE project has revealed a wealth of information, such as transcription factor binding sites, and rare CNVs that were identified in the study herein were checked for their potential impact on these sites (hg19 assembly ENCODE annotation was checked) and were often found to impact transcription factor binding sites and/or were located in conserved DNA regions.

FIG. 9 shows an intergenic, recurrent gain that is upstream of CD180. Patient MVGS995-4a has a homozygous duplication and, while not considered as a PML solution in Table 7, is potentially an alternate solution that may be causing or contributing to the patient's PML based on altered expression of CD180. The gene has immune-related biology (see Table 6) and String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) reveals a PML-419 gene interaction with PLCG2 (see Table 7, 2 PML cases have a solution for this gene).

FIG. 10 shows an intergenic, recurrent loss that is upstream of VDAC1. Patient PML30 has a homozygous deletion and, while not considered as a PML solution in Table 7, is potentially an alternate solution that may be causing or contributing to the patient's PML based on altered expression of VDAC1. String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions for VDAC1.

FIG. 11 shows an intergenic, recurrent loss that is downstream of EGR1 and ETF1. Patient PML69 has a homozygous deletion and, based on links for EGR1 to PML-419 genes (Table 6) and its proximity to EGR1 (˜4 Kb away), it was added as a potential PML solution in Table 7. String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) reveals PML-419 gene interactions with JUN, PTEN, and TP53), but nothing of note was found for String analysis of ETF1.

FIG. 12 shows an intergenic, recurrent loss that is upstream of ITSN2. Patient PML65 has a homozygous deletion and, based on links for ITSN2 to a known PML gene (WAS) in the PML-419 gene list (Table 6), it was added as a potential PML solution in Table 7. Interestingly, another PML case was found to have a rare homozygous SNV in ITSN2, so this gene has 2 PML solutions reported in Table 7. String analysis (high confidence=0.7, 1st shell=up to 10 interactors) did not reveal any PML-419 gene interactions.

Example 8

Pathway analyses, such as protein-protein interactions, are providing valuable insights into the underlying biology for complex diseases. While PML is a very rare disease that requires several concurrent factors (e.g., infection by the JC virus), multiple genes may be independently causing or increasing the risk of developing this neurodegenerative disorder based on the presence of a genetic variant in a given gene (e.g., a heterozygous variant wherein one deleterious variant is present on the maternally or paternally inherited allele, a homozygous variant wherein the same deleterious variant is present on both alleles, or compound heterozygous variants wherein a pair of deleterious variants are present but one is found on the maternally inherited allele and the other is found on the paternally inherited allele). As hypothesized, presence of an immune deficiency genetic disorder was another prerequisite. Indeed, in the PML study described herein, 43 genes were proposed as solutions for 61 of 71 PML cases (see Table 7) that were assessed using array CGH and whole exome sequencing. Numerous algorithms and associated databases have been developed to investigate molecular pathways, such as String (see, Szklarczyk et al., (2015), and references therein).

FIG. 13 shows an example of String analysis performed on the 43 genes considered as PML solutions on the basis of an AD or AR disease model. A series of interactions were found for 21 of 43 genes, and in several instances this included interactions for genes implicated in 2 or more PML cases that are reported in Table 7 (9 cases for TNFRSF11A, 4 cases for PLCG2, 3 cases for ZAP70 and NOD2, and 2 PML cases for TICAM1).

Example 9

To determine the likelihood that a randomly selected individual would harbor one of the variants described herein, the following analysis was performed: For each variant or combination of variants, the ethnic-specific frequency quoted in Table 7 was used to determine the probability that a randomly selected individual of the same ethnicity would be expected not to harbor the variant or combination of variants. The product of all such probabilities was calculated (e.g., the probability that a randomly selected individual would not harbor any of the variants) and subtracted from 1, yielding the probability that a random individual would harbor at least one of the variants. It was found that, for HIV cases, the probability of a random individual harboring at least one of the variants was ˜5%, which is consistent with the pre-HAART risk of PML in the context of HIV. For non-HIV cases (mostly MS/NTZ), the risk was ˜1%, which, again, is consistent with the risk of PML in MS/NTZ, especially after long-term therapy.

These analyses support the notion that the frequencies of the variants identified as relevant to PML risk are consistent with the actual observed risks for unselected individuals. The analyses are predicated on the reasonable assumption that there is no PML-relevant connection with the risk of developing HIV (an acquired infection) and/or MS (e.g., this implies that treatment of healthy individuals with Natalizumab, for example, would result in similar risks of PML). Any deviations (e.g., variants found in a slightly higher number of normal individuals than expected according to the numbers actually observed to be affected by PML) may be due to: penetrance (e.g., not everyone with the variants will be at maximal risk of PML); the assumption that individuals with MS, HIV and other underlying conditions represented a normal (e.g., with respect to PML risk) cross-section of the general population, prior to developing the underlying disorders HIV, MS etc; and under ascertainment of PML, even in patients with HIV, MS/NTZ.

Table 1 lists all CNVs of interest, obtained as described in the text, with the exception that, for each entry, the original CNV start and stop positions are noted, along with original CNV size, type (heterozygous loss, homozygous loss or gain), Case_ID and gene annotation (for the CNV-subregion NOT original CNV). The final column contains SEQ_ID numbers. Standard chromosomal numbering used by those skilled in the art is used in Table 1 for the autosomal chromosomes (1-22) but, for convenience with analysis methods, chromosome X is designated as chromosome 23 herein. All coordinates are based on hg18.

Table 2 is identical to Table 1, with a number of exceptions. Firstly, the CNV coordinates listed refer to the actual CNV-subregions found to be unique or significantly different between the disease and normal cohorts, as opposed to Table 1, which lists the original CNVs. Secondly, an extra column details whether genic CNV-subregions of interest overlap an exon or not. Third and fourth, 2 extra columns detail the number of normal cases and the number of disease cases that harbor the relevant CNV-subregion. Finally, 2 columns report Fisher's 2-tailed Exact Test (FET) and the odds ratio (OR). Standard chromosomal numbering used by those skilled in the art is used in Table 2 for the autosomal chromosomes (1-22) but, for convenience with analysis methods, chromosome X is designated as chromosome 23 herein. All coordinates are in hg18.

TABLE 3 A non-redundant list of genes listed in Table 2 RefSeq Gene Symbol Exon overlap NCBI Gene ID Gene Description RefSeq_Summary Gene # (GN) ADARB1 intronic 104 double-stranded RNA-specific editase 1 This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for pre-mRNA editing of the 2 isoform 1 glutamate receptor subunit B by site-specific deamination of adenosines. Studies in rat found that this enzyme acted on its own pre-mRNA molecules to convert an AA dinucleotide to an AI dinucleotide which resulted in a new splice site. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants, some of which have been characterized by the presence or absence of an ALU cassette insert and a short or long C-terminal region. [provided by RefSeq, July 2008]. Transcript Variant: This variant (1), also known as ADAR2a-L1 or DRADA2a, lacks the ALU cassette insert and contains the long C-terminal region, as compared to variant 2. The resulting isoform (1), also known as hRED1-Short, lacks an internal segment, compared to isoform 2.

It is one of seven 4 isoform a related genes or pseudogenes found in a cluster, thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22. Members of the cluster encode proteins that are structurally and functionally related to the C to U RNA-editing cytidine deaminase APOBEC1. The protein encoded by this gene lacks the zinc binding activity of other family members. The protein plays a role in immunity, by restricting transmission of foreign DNA such as viruses. One mechanism of foreign DNA restriction is deamination of foreign double-stranded DNA cytidines to uridines, which leads to DNA degradation. However, other mechanisms are also thought to be involved, as anti-viral effect is not dependent on deaminase activity. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, July 2012]. Transcript Variant: This variant (1) represents the longer transcript and encodes the longer isoform (a).

However, other mechanisms are also thought to be involved, as anti-viral effect is not dependent on deaminase activity. The protein encoded by this gene is the same as that encoded by APOBEC3A; however, this gene is a hybrid gene that results from the deletion of approximately 29.5 kb of sequence between the APOBEC3A gene and the adjacent gene APOBEC3B. The breakpoints of the deletion are within the two genes, so the deletion hybrid is predicted to have the promoter and coding region of APOBEC3A, but the 3′ UTR of APOBEC3B.

Members of the cluster encode proteins that are structurally and functionally related to the C to U RNA-editing cytidine deaminase APOBEC1.

ARE elements are involved in directing RNA to rapid degradation and deadenylation. AUH is also homologous to enol-CoA hydratase, an enzyme involved in fatty acid degradation, and has been shown to have intrinsic hydratase enzymatic activity. AUH is thus a bifunctional chimera between RNA binding and metabolic enzyme activity. A possible subcellular localization in the mitochondria has been demonstrated for the mouse homolog of this protein which shares 92% identity with the human protein. It has been suggested that AUH may have a novel role as a mitochondrial located AU-binding protein. Human AUH is expressed as a single mRNA species of 1.8 kb, and translated as a 40-kDa precursor protein which is subsequently processed to a 32-kDa mature form. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010].

The encoded protein contains broad complex, tramtrack, bric-a-brac/poxvirus and zinc finger (BTB/POZ) domains, which is atypical of CNC-bZip family members. These BTB/POZ domains facilitate protein-protein interactions and formation of homo- and/or hetero-oligomers. When this encoded protein forms a heterodimer with MafK, it functions as a repressor of Maf recognition element (MARE) and transcription is repressed. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]. Transcript Variant: This variant (3), also named BACH1t, differs in the 5′ UTR, 3′ coding region and 3′ UTR (compared to variant 1). This variant is represented as non- coding because the use of the 5′-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This transcript represents the splice variant reported by Kanezaki et al. (PMID: 11069897).

The subunit encoded by this gene belongs to a family of AMPA (alpha- amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate)-sensitive glutamate receptors, and is subject to RNA editing (AGA->GGA; R->G). Alternative splicing at this locus results in different isoforms, which may valy in their signal transduction properties. [provided by RefSeq, July 2008].

When an extracellular ligand binds to a G-protein- linked receptor, the receptor changes its conformation and switches on the trimeric G proteins that associate with it by causing them to eject their GDP and replace it with GTP. The switch is turned off when the G protein hydrolyzes its own bound GTP, converting it back to GDP. But before that occurs, the active protein has an opportunity to diffuse away from the receptor and deliver its message for a prolonged period to its downstream target.

This kinase targets specific transcription factors, and thus mediates immediate-early gene expression in response to various cell stimuli. It is most closely related to MAPK8, both of which are involved in UV radiation induced apoptosis, thought to be related to the cytochrome c-mediated cell death pathway. This gene and MAPK8 are also known as c-Jun N-terminal kinases. This kinase blocks the ubiquitination of tumor suppressor p53, and thus it increases the stability of p53 in nonstressed cells. Studies of this gene's mouse counterpart suggest a key role in T-cell differentiation. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

The JNK2-a1 variant differs from the JNK2-b1 variant in the use of an alternate internal coding exon of the same length.

Table 6 is a comprehensive list of 419 exemplary genes (referred to herein as ‘PML-419 genes’ or ‘PML-419 gene list’) interrogated in the present study, along with information related to the inheritance pattern assumed for analysis and the reason for inclusion of the gene. Gene sources for Table 6 (column heading ‘Gene_Source’): 1) nominated on the basis of being linked to immune deficiency, as curated from public databases (indicated by ‘Public_db’) such as PubMed and ClinVar, 2) PBio CNV-identified genes (‘PBio’, see Table 6 column heading ‘Gene_Source’) from a genome-wide array CGH gene discovery study of 71 PML cases, or 3) curated from public databases and identified in PBio's PML gene discovery study (indicated by ‘Both’). A genetic predisposition to PML on the basis of the host's genome was proposed; that is, germline genetic variant(s) in the PML patient's genome, rather than genetic variants that are present in the JC virus, are the cause of the patient's PML (Hatchwell, Front Immunol., 6:216 (2015). Details on the source of the genes in the PML-419 gene list can be found in the following immunodeficiency and immune-related gene sources: Durandy et al., Nat Rev Immunol., 13(7):519-33 (2013); Milner et al., Nat Rev Immunol., 13(9):635-48 (2013); Paciolla et al., Genes Immun., 16(4):239-46 (2015); Hatchwell, Front Immunol., 6:216 (2015); Thijssen et al., Nat Commun., 6:7870 (2015); Chinn et al., Immunol Allergy Clin North Am., 35(4):671-94 (2015); Zhou et al., Nat Genet., 48(1):67-73 (2015); Navabi et al., Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol., 12:27 (2016); and Tsujita et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol. (2016). MySql′ genes are derived from the ClinVar database. ClinVar was searched using the terms “immune deficiency” and “immunodeficiency.” Entries that described large genomic rearrangements, containing multiple genes, were excluded. A non-redundant list of 125 genes was compiled by combining the output of the two searches and deposited into a MySQL database. NOTE: A subset of these genes are not flagged as ‘MySql’ if they appeared in one or more of the immune gene review papers noted above. van der Kolk et al., Ann Clin Transl Neurol.; 3(3):226-32 (2016) was the source of known BAG3 PML gene (see below) and 28 candidate PML genes on the basis of connection to JCV. Van der Kolk et al., cite a method as follows: “the latter was performed by searching for JCV in NCBI, and selecting for genes in humans.” This yielded 30 human genes, 5 of which overlapped with the PML gene list and 2 genes (HLA-DQB1, HLA-DRB1) were excluded because HLA loci are difficult to interpret. The genes ADA, BAG3, BTK, CD40LG, DOCKS, STAT1, WAS, and WIPF1 were derived from Hatchwell, Front Immunol., 6:216 (2015) (see Table 1 for primary references); van der Kolk et al., Ann Clin Transl Neurol., 3(3):226-32 (2016); and Zerbe et al., Clin Infect Dis., 62(8):986-94 (2016). PBio genes are based on CNV studies and a subset overlap the immune review gene lists (annotated as ‘Both’ in column heading ‘Gene Source’). Tier 1 genes were used as potential solutions for PML cases. Determination of Autosomal Dominant (AD), Autosomal Recessive (AR), X-linked dominant (XLD), or X-linked (XLR) disease model for each gene was derived from the immunodeficiency review papers and/or OMIM annotations. Entries marked ‘association’ denotes variants were found to be associated with an immune-related condition; ‘unknown’ denotes no evidence reported in the literature for an AD or AR model.

Table 7 contains a single genetic solution/explanation that is the potential cause of PML in each patient in the study (71 cases were assessed with genome-wide array CGH and 71 were also assessed by whole exome sequencing), with the exception of 19 ‘unsolved’ cases. Solutions are based on a combination of CNV and SNV variants, connected by SEQ IDs to tables 1, 4 and 5. For homozygous or compound heterozygous variant solutions, expected population frequencies were calculated as follows:

-   -   Expected population frequency for variant a (freq p) and variant         b (freq q)=pq/4.

For example, PML09 has 2 variants, SEQ ID 1221 and 1222, with individual frequencies in the normal population of 0.00399, 0.287. The expected frequency in an ethnically-matched normal population for this combination is (0.00399*0.287)*0.25=0.000286283=1/3,497.

The Primary_Disease identifiers in Table 7 are: HIV, infection with human immunodeficiency virus; MS (NZ Rx), multiple sclerosis treated with natalizumab; Other, which includes a variety of disorders/conditions (MVGS694-6a had aplastic anemia, PML02 and PML52 had lymphoma, PML45 and PML 57 had chronic lymphocytic leukemia, PML53 had sarcoidosis, and PML69 is a kidney transplant patient who was on belatacept).

Solutions were considered on the basis of presence of rare variants (CNVs and/or SNVs) in or near genes that are listed in Table 6. Both autosomal recessive (AR) and autosomal dominant (AD) disease models comprise this set of solutions, based on finding homozygous SNVs, homozygous CNVs, compound heterozygous SNVs, or heterozygous SNVs. Nine PML cases in Table 7 were considered ‘unsolved’ on the basis of analyzing both CNV and SNV data, and one case (PML67) was assessed for CNVs only since WES data were unavailable. In some instances, a case was considered unsolved for a best solution (Table 7) but alternate solutions were reported in Table 8 (see below).

For PML cases that had more than one potential solution. In these instances, the ‘best’ solution (Table 7) was determined on the basis of rarity of the genetic variant(s) and the relative strength of the biology for the PML-419 genes (Table 6). Alternate solutions are reported in Table 8. For example, for PML case MVGS1116-8a, three solutions were found, which impacted genes DOCK8, HIVEP2, and RNF168. In this example, DOCK8 compound heterozygous SNVs (Table 7, SNV hom:SNV het) were selected as the best solution because DOCK8 is a known PML gene. In another example, PML case MVGS1359 has IL17F (het SNV) listed as the best solution in Table 7 because it is rarer than alternate solutions for the ATR and STXBP2 genes.

While some PML patients may have multiple genes/variants causing and/or contributing to their PML, in many PML patients only a single gene will be the primary cause analogous to patients diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency disorders. In addition to the alternate solutions reported in Table 8, which are based on SNV genetic findings only, additional alternate solutions based on CNV genetic findings are reported in Table 1.

Table 8 contains analogous information to Table 7, with the exception that Ethnicity, Gender and Primary_Disease are not repeated. Table 8 contains alternate genetic solutions/explanations as the potential cause of PML for the patients in the study (71 cases were assessed with genome-wide array CGH and 70 were also assessed by whole exome sequencing). Solutions in Table 8 are also case-level and represent secondary, alternative solutions for the cases listed (using the same criteria used to identify potential solutions reported in Table 7). In other words, for some individuals, more than one reasonable solution was identified and, while those in Table 7 are considered the most likely, those in Table 8 are also potential solutions. It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that further data on new PML cases, patients with genetic-based immunodeficiency disorders, or functional studies on a given gene may support selection of a Table 8 solution as the ‘best’ single solution (i.e., a current Table 7 solution could be considered instead as a Table 8 solution, and vice versa).

Table 9 lists, for each case (in multiple rows), variants for which it was not possible, using the whole exome sequencing (WES) data available, to determine phase (i.e., whether two variants are in cis—on the same chromosome—or trans—on opposite chromosomes). Determining phase is an important consideration when dealing with disorders that are being evaluated on an autosomal recessive (AR) basis. If two variants are known to be present but it is impossible to determine whether they are in cis or trans, then it is impossible to conclude that both gene copies are affected, as opposed to only one (albeit with 2 variants). This problem does not arise in the case of homozygous variants, for which it is obvious that the variants must be in trans (i.e., it is only an issue for non-identical variants). All genome coordinates are based on hg19 build.

In summary, Table 9 lists all unphased case-level compound heterozygous SNV solutions, which might represent further case-level solutions, were phasing to have been possible. Furthermore, it can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that unphased solutions reported in Table 9 (2 het SNVs per gene) or Table 10 (see below, which reports het SNVs in patients that also have a CNV reported in Table 1) can potentially cause or contribute to the patient's PML if follow up genetic analysis reveals the pair of variants are on different alleles (i.e., each gene copy impacted by a variant). Variants reported in Tables 1, 9, or 10 may also be found to be significantly deleterious on their own (e.g., in functional studies on patient-derived cells, animal models, etc.) and thus constitute an AD model solution (i.e., genes presently listed as ‘AR’ model in Table 6) may be causal or contributing to disease via an AD or AR model, like several genes already known to be AD or AR (Table 6, ‘AD_AR’ disease model).

Table 13 lists genes for which the total burden of heterozygous, damaging variants was found to be statistically greater in PML cases versus ExAC controls. Gene burden analysis was performed as described below at minor allele frequency (MAF) cutoffs of 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05. Not all genes survived statistical analysis at all MAF cutoffs. For each gene that survived at multiple MAF cutoffs, the averages of the Fishers Exact Test (FET), nominal and corrected, were calculated, as were the other relevant metrics. Two genes overlapped between AFR and EUR analyses. FETs were corrected for multiple testing with the number of genes used in this study (419). Only genes for which FET_corr was <0.05 and in which variants affected >10% of cases within the given ethnicity (>2 for AFR, >4 for EUR) were considered for inclusion.

Table 15 lists the second tier of variants that were found on the basis of variant burden analysis, as described below. For each variant (genome coordinates are UCSC hg19), detailed information is presented of the numbers of EUR and AFR cases that carry the variant, along with the ethnic-specific and aggregate statistical metrics.

Table 16 lists a potential testing scenario, based on top variant burden hits (reported in Table 14). The analysis is for illustrative purposes only, it being acknowledged that greater diagnostic yields can be obtained by assaying for a larger number of variants, including those listed in Table 15. Examples are given for diagnostic yield using singleton variants, as well as a variety of combinations, including the use of the top 4 variants. For this set of variants, the test method is described as genotyping, as opposed to whole gene sequencing (i.e., determination of the status at each of the bases, which yields a binary output, as opposed to identification of variants elsewhere in the relevant genes).

Table 17 lists a potential testing scenario using genes identified as having a greater burden of damaging, heterozygous variants in the PML cohort (see Table 13). The nature of the testing method is ‘gene sequencing’ since the variants are not known in advance—any and all potentially damaging variants need to be considered in such an assay.

Table 18 represents a summary of genes that survive case-level (2 or more examples in Tables 7, 8), gene burden and/or variant burden analyses (based on Tables 13 and 14). Of note is that PLCG2 satisfies all 3 criteria (2 or more examples, in Table 8, presence in Tables 13, 14). This summary demonstrates that many genes have been identified as significant on the basis of independent analysis methods.

Example 11 Figures Referenced in this Study

FIGS. 1-12 represent example CNV data from the PML gene discovery study (71 PML cases, see Table 7 for patient information) using array CGH (methods described herein). In each figure/drawing: 1) genome coordinates are listed at the top (hg18 assembly, chromosome number and position depicted); 2) data track 1 (labeled ‘Genes’) depicts the location of the RefSeq genes (exons are dark gray portions of the bars, introns are light gray portions of the bars); 3) data track 2 (labeled ‘Normal Cohort’) depicts the size and location of CNVs found in the NVE cohort (PBio's proprietary control database consisting of CNV findings in apparently healthy—i.e. normal—subjects, see methods herein) with the y-axis corresponding to the number of NVE subjects that have the CNV; and 4) remaining data tracks are CNV data found in individual PML patients wherein the y-axis corresponds to the log 2 ratio (see methods herein), points represent individual probes on the microarray, and line segments are shifted positive (copy number gain) or negative (copy number loss) based on the output of DNAcopy, the CNV calling algorithm. Typical log 2 ratios for gains and losses on the Agilent 1M microarray (see methods herein) and our experimental protocols are: 0.6 for duplications, 1.0 for triplications (or homozygous duplications), −1.0 for heterozygous deletions, and <−2 (often −4.0 to −6.0) for homozygous deletions. Relevant genes are labeled in the ‘Genes’ data track.

FIG. 1 represents an example of a gene impacted by germline and acquired CNVs. Germline CNVs that impact the PRKCB gene include patient PML50 with a 4.8 Kb intronic heterozygous loss (also found in 7 Normal subjects) and patient PML11 with a 7.3 Kb intronic gain (also found in 1 Normal subject). Acquired CNVs were found in 6 PML patients, a series of gains at ˜23.9 Mb with varying log 2 ratios, suggestive of a mixed cell population (array CGH experiments were performed on blood-derived genomic DNA).

FIG. 2 represents an example of potentially PML-relevant genes (TNFRSF13C and CENPM) impacted by acquired CNVs. Acquired CNVs were found in 9 PML patients, a series of gains at ˜40.6 Mb with varying log 2 ratios, suggestive of a mixed cell population (array CGH experiments were performed on blood-derived genomic DNA). All 9 PML patients (see Table 7 for patient information) had a primary diagnosis of HIV and were mixed gender (3 females and 6 males) and ethnicity (4 African ancestry and 5 European ancestry).

FIG. 3 represents an example of a gene impacted by germline and acquired CNVs. A germline CNV, which is a 7.2 Kb intronic heterozygous loss (not found in Normal subjects, but an adjacent loss is found in 8 Normal subjects) that impacts the PKHD1 gene, was detected in patient PML26. Acquired CNVs were found in 3 PML patients, a series of gains at ˜51.9 Mb with varying log 2 ratios, suggestive of a mixed cell population (array CGH experiments were performed on blood-derived genomic DNA).

FIG. 4 represents an example of a gene impacted by a recurrent CNV loss. The 14.7 Kb intronic deletion impacts the BMPR2 gene. Heterozygous deletions were detected in patients PML58 and MVGS811-13a (also found in 2 Normal subjects), and a homozygous deletion was detected in patient PML29 (none found in Normal subjects). All three PML patients are males and their primary disease is HIV (see Table 7).

FIG. 5 represents an example of a gene impacted by a recurrent CNV gain. The 10.2 Kb exonic gain disrupts the COMMD6 gene. Two PML patients, PML29 and MVGS811-13a, have a homozygous duplication (log 2 ratio comparable to triplications) based on the observation that 1000 genomes subjects are reported to have this gain (see hg19 assembly DGV variant esv3632749, which reports 148 of 2504 subjects as having this gain; no Normals were found in PBio's NVE db). Both PML patients are males and their primary disease is HIV (see Table 7).

FIG. 6 represents an example of a gene impacted by a recurrent CNV gain. The 27.4 Kb exonic gain disrupts the KCTD7 gene and the right breakpoint is 16-90 Kb upstream of RABGEF1 transcript variants (RefSeq: NM_001287060, NR_104676, NM_014504, NM_001287062, NM_001287061). Patient PML29 has a homozygous duplication (log 2 ratio comparable to triplications) based on the observation that 1000 genomes subjects are reported to have this gain (see hg19 assembly DGV variant esv3613515, which reports 28 of 2504 subjects as having this gain; no Normals were found in PBio's NVE db). Patient PML63 has a duplication. Both PML patients are males of African ancestry and their primary disease is HIV (see Table 7).

FIG. 7 represents an example of a gene impacted by a recurrent CNV gain. The 344 Kb exonic gain disrupts the FPR2 and ZNF616 genes (via left and right breakpoints) and additional genes fully encompassed by this CNV are: FPR3, ZNF350, ZNF350-AS1, ZNF432, ZNF577, ZNF613, ZNF614, ZNF615, ZNF649, ZNF649-AS1, ZNF841. Patient PML03 has a homozygous duplication (log 2 ratio comparable to triplications) based on the observation that 3 Normal subjects (PBio's NVE db) are found to have a duplication of this region, along with patient PML10. Both PML patients are females of European ancestry and their primary diseases are HIV and MS (see Table 7).

FIG. 8 represents an example of a gene impacted by a recurrent CNV loss. The 1.1 Kb exonic deletion impacts the PIK3CD and PIK3CD-AS1 (previous gene symbol was Clorf200) genes. A homozygous deletion was detected in patient MVGS811-13a and this loss (heterozygous or homozygous) was not found in Normal subjects or the DGV public CNV database. The PML patient is a male and his primary disease is HIV (see Table 7). He is presumed to be of EUR ancestry (ethnicities were not available for MVGS samples).

FIG. 9 represents an example of a gene impacted by an intergenic, recurrent CNV gain. The 16.7 Kb intergenic gain has a left breakpoint that is 105 Kb upstream of the CD180 gene (RefSeq transcript variant NM_005582). Patient MVGS995-4a has a homozygous duplication (log 2 ratio comparable to triplications) based on the observation that 1000 genomes subjects are reported to have this gain (see hg19 assembly DGV variant esv3605336, which reports 2 of 2504 subjects as having this gain; no Normals were found in PBio's NVE db). The PML patient is a male of European ancestry and his primary disease is MS (see Table 7).

FIG. 10 represents an example of a gene impacted by an intergenic, recurrent CNV loss. The 7.7 Kb intergenic homozygous deletion has a left breakpoint that is 3-4 Kb upstream of VDAC1 transcript variants (RefSeq: NM_003374, NR_036625, NR_036624). This loss (heterozygous or homozygous) was not found in Normal subjects or the DGV public CNV database. Patient PML30 is a male of European ancestry and his primary disease is HIV (see Table 7).

FIG. 11 represents an example of a gene impacted by an intergenic, recurrent CNV loss. The 6.8 Kb intergenic homozygous deletion has a left breakpoint that is 4 Kb downstream of EGR1 transcript variant (RefSeq: NM_001964) and 26 Kb downstream of ETF1 transcript variants (RefSeq: NM_001256302, NM_004730, NM_001282185, NM_001291975, NM_001291974). This loss was found to be homozygous in 1 Normal subject and the loss was also reported in the DGV public CNV database (see hg19 assembly DGV variant esv3606925, which reports 33 of 2504 subjects as having this loss, homozygous vs. heterozygous subjects are unknown). Patient PML69 is a male of European ancestry and his primary disease (condition) is kidney transplant (see Table 7, reported as ‘Other’). Patient PML69 was treated with CTLA4-Ig (belatacept, a CD28-B7 costimulation blocker and T-cell anergy inducer). The CD28 pathway includes links to the patient's genetic finding (e.g., homozygous deletion adjacent to the EGR1 gene) and several other genes that may be related to immunodeficiency (e.g., CD40LG, ITK, LCK, LRBA, PIK3CD, PIK3R1, PLCG2, WAS, and ZAP70) (Dekeyser M et al. Open Forum Infect Diseases, 2016, Refractory T-Cell Anergy and Rapidly Fatal Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy following Prolonged CTLA4 Therapy).

FIG. 12 represents an example of a gene impacted by an intergenic, recurrent CNV loss. The 5.6 Kb intergenic homozygous deletion has a left breakpoint that is 20 Kb upstream of ITSN2 transcript variants (RefSeq: NM_019595, NM_006277, NM_147152). Heterozygous losses were found in 50 Normal subjects and the loss was also reported in the DGV public CNV database (see hg19 assembly DGV variant esv3590068, which reports 222 of 2504 subjects as having this loss, homozygous vs. heterozygous subjects are unknown). Patient PML65 is a male of African ancestry and his primary disease is HIV (see Table 7).

FIG. 13 represents an example of known and/or predicted protein interactions using the String database (string-db.org; see Szklarczyk et al., (2015) and references therein). A non-redundant list of all genes reported in Table 7 (43 genes, which included those whose expression was inferred to be impacted by a nearby intergenic CNV) as best solutions/explanations for 61 of 71 PML cases (11 PML cases are reported as ‘unsolved’, including 1 case for which only CGH data was obtained) was assessed using the String db. The ‘minimum required interaction score’ was set to ‘high confidence (0.7)’ and no additional ‘interactors’ were added. Of the 43 input genes, 21 were found to have high confidence interactions, as shown in the figure, along with annotation of the number of PML cases that had each of these genes as a solution/explanation (e.g., 3 PML cases in Table 7 were found to have a PLCG2 solution).

Example 12 Gene Burden Analysis

Gene burden analysis was performed as follows. Using a variety of in-house scripts, and data downloaded from ExAC (exac.broadinstitute.org), a count was performed for all variants occurring in each of the 419 genes listed in Table 6. Each variant was classified according to whether it was deemed damaging (on the basis of at least one of the prediction algorithms SIFT, PolyPhen2 or MutationTaster) or non-damaging, heterozygous or homozygous. This was performed in parallel for PML variants and those found in ExAC. ExAC data for which quality/coverage was <80% of expected was not used and gene burden analysis could not therefore be performed.

An ethnic-specific (EUR or AFR only, there were too few LAT cases for this type of analysis) comparison was then performed for each of 4 categories:

-   -   Homozygous damaging     -   Homozygous non-damaging     -   Heterozygous damaging     -   Heterozygous non-damaging

For all 4 categories, variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) cutoffs of 0.01, 0.02. 0.03. 0.04, 0.05 and 0.1 were considered.

For each comparison, odds ratios (OR) and Fisher's exact test (FET) were calculated for the comparison of numbers of PML cases with at least one variant of the type under consideration and those in ExAC. Correction for multiple testing was performed by multiplying the FET by the number of genes being considered (419). Only genes for whom the FET_corrected was <0.05 were included in Table 13, which contains data on the average values for a given gene at all MAFs that passed FET_correction. In practice, only the category of heterozygous damaging yielded significant genes.

Example 13 Variant Burden Analysis

For each variant identified in at least one PML case, a count was performed in order to obtain the frequency of the same variant in the cohort as a whole. This aggregate data was compared to counts for the same variant as reported in ExAC. ExAC data was filtered for quality/coverage and variant burden analysis was not performed if ExAC coverage was <80% expected.

Variant burden analysis was performed separately for EUR (n=44 cases) and AFR (n=21 cases) cohorts (LAT cohort was too small) and the OR and FET values calculated. From this analysis, only variants with OR>1 (i.e., potentially indicative of increased risk for PML) for both ethnicities (AFR and EUR) and for which the ExAC frequency of the variant was <5% were considered. Furthermore, only those variants for which the frequency in the ethnic-specific cohort was >10% (5 or more EUR cases, 3 or more AFR cases) were considered top-tier (Table 14), although other variants have been tabulated in Table 15.

Example 14 Exemplary PML Risk Prediction Tests

Table 16 provides exemplary markers for creating a low-cost, simple (genotype specific SNVs) PML risk prediction test. Other embodiments could be similarly devised from other SNVs reported in Tables 14 and 15. Different combinations of SNVs from Tables 14, 15 could be utilized in tests of varying complexity, to develop a test that would yield higher diagnostic yields than the top example listed in Table 16 (i.e., 40%).

Table 17 provides exemplary genes that could be included in a gene panel sequencing test for PML risk prediction. Other embodiments could be similarly devised from genes reported in Table 13, or from other tables disclosed herein.

Table 9 contains ‘example’ variants that may be considered as ‘AD’ causes of immunodeficiency (i.e., presence of just 1 of the 2 reported het SNVs in a given patient may be causing immunodeficiency), which may increase the risk for PML. For example, this may be a more likely scenario for het SNVs that are ‘novel’ in the ExAC db (i.e., not found in the general population), and even more likely if such novel SNVs are found in >=2 PML cases (irrespective of the invoked disease model). Examples of this include the following 3 genes:

-   -   AK2, 2 cases (Table 9)         -   chr1:33476435, C>A, novel in ExAC         -   PML20 and PML33, AFR and EUR, both HIV     -   EPG5, 2 cases (Table 9)         -   chr18: 43445601, T>G, novel in ExAC         -   PML25 and PML27, both EUR, both HIV     -   TNFRSF11A, 9 cases (Table 7)         -   chr18: 60052034, A>C, novel in ExAC         -   see Table 7 for case IDs, 2 AFR and 7 EUR, all HIV

It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that immunodeficiency genes presently known to cause AR disease may potentially cause AD disease. Numerous examples have been reported in the literature, including several of the genes listed in Table 6 (e.g., Disease_model is indicated as AD_AR for 32 genes, such as ADAR and TICAM1).

Example 15 Exemplary 96-gene Panel PML Risk Prediction Tests

Example 20 Exemplary 10-gene Panel PML Risk Prediction Tests

Table 24 contains an exemplary 10-SNV panel based on top 7 SNVs in Table 14 and 3 SNVs from Table 15 (based on overlapping genes between 14 and 15: IGLL1, MAVS, SHARPIN). Specifically, Using the top 10 SNVs (7 from Table 14, along with 3 from Table 15, residing in genes already selected from Table 14), an additive count (column “Case total additive (non-redundant)”) was performed to determine how many PML cases had at least one of the variants when these were considered in order (e.g., column “Order (FET)”: ‘1’, first, followed by ‘1’+‘2’, followed by ‘1’+‘2’+‘3’, etc). Since some individuals harbor more than one variant, the additive count is not equal to the simple sum of PML case numbers for each variant (column “Case total per SNV”). All genome coordinates are based on hg19 build.

An additive count was performed for ExAC subjects (column “ExAC subjects total additive (redundant)”), as follows: i) The average cohort size for ExAC for all variants was calculated; ii) Each total subject count (all ethnicities) was normalized to this average cohort size. The ExAC additive count represents a simple addition: labeled as “redundant” in column “ExAC subjects total additive (redundant)”, because information regarding the possible presence of multiple variants in the same individual is not available; iii) Odds Ratios (ORs) and Fisher's Exact test (FET) values were calculated (columns “PML ALL OR additive” and “PML ALL FET additive”).

It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above gene panels were selected based on the present genetic findings in 70 PML cases. Furthermore, a gene not presently selected for any of these exemplary gene panels may be added to the gene panel. For example, genes in which only 1 PML case was found to have variants fulfilling the criteria may be added to the gene panel if genetic validation in additional PML cases shows a ‘n=1 case’ gene is impacted by more than 1 PML case when the data are examined for a new set of PML cases. In some cases, additional genes (e.g., PML-linked genes such as DOCK8, BAG3, STAT1) may be added to the gene panel.
